Walked our feet off

Betsy Ross House.

Today we got up and hit the breakfast in the Inn.  The  usual continental breakfast servings.

Then we trekked to Independence Park and went via Pine Street also know as Antique Row.   There weren't many stores; a few stores selling some interesting things.  A lot of the antique stores were not open or sitting unopened behind the metal closing gates.  

We went by Pennsylvania Hospital which was the first hospital in the USA.   Then to Washington Square which has the tomb of the unknown Revolutionary Was soldier.   Diagonal from that square is the Independence Park.  We perused the Liberty Bell, walked around the Independence Park and the Gift Shop.   Did you ever notice that all the gift shops are set up the same and have the same trinkets.   The only thing that changes is the name on the T shirt or  coffee mug.   I actually saw a coffee mug that had written on it the Declaration of Independence....WOW.

Next was the Christ Church Cemetery that is the burial place of Benjamin Franklin and other Revolutionary War leaders.  Up the street was the Betsy Ross and Elfreth Alley which is the oldest, inhabited street in America.

I took about 100 pictures but do not have them downloaded yet.   On the way back to the Inn we went up the street of Jewelry Row and then back for a brief respite.

Tomorrow is Museum Day, who knows  what we will see.  The first is the Mutters Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; which is the third largest Art Museum in the USA.

The Liberty Bell with Independence Hall behind.

Elfreths Alley, the oldest, continuously inhabited street in the USA
