I saw so much today! Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross House, the US Mint and many many more things. It is so inspiring to hear the stories of the our country's birth and to see the places where things happened. This has been an inspiring journey. The liberty bell was especially moving after reading about its history. The pictures that people take for you are not necessarily great but I am grateful for people who are willing to help. I have not heard so many different languages in along time. How wonderful it is to see some many people enjoying the history of our nation.
I also went the the Christ Church cemetery and saw were Ben Franklin is buried along with 8 of the other signers of the Constitution. I got a tour from a local and we saw notable grave of the signers and also of those involved in slavery whether they were abolitionists or slave owners.
Tomorrow I plan on going to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the surrounding buildings. I am excited to see some great architecture. I had another great sandwich on the street and some yum, yum gelato creamy coconut.
I love and miss you all!
Becky
