Philadelphia

Wednesday evening we left for Philadelphia, PA. One of our young people had a surgery scheduled for early Thursady morning do we went down on Wednesday evening. After the surgery on Thursday, we decided to do a little sight seeing. We were able to see the Liberty Bell, Congressional Hall, US Federal Reserve (we were given $100.00...of course it was all shredded and in a plastic bag). We saw Camden Yards and Citizen Bank Field, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. We saw the steps that "Rocky Balboa" ran up in his training to fight "Apollo Crede" and many other interesting things. It truly is a town filled with history. Of course, we didn't see everything, so it would really be nice to return some day. It was really neat to see just days after Memorial Day. There were still some Memorial Day decorations standing. I was reminded again, what a privilege it is to be an American no matter how rounchy things seem to be at times. I also participated in an anti-gambling rally...sortof. There were a bunch of people gathered protesting gambling in PA. As we drove by I hollered out the window my support. All in all we had a great time. We stayed at the Sheraton Center City on the 21st floor. What an awsome sight to look out across the city at night with everything lit up. One thing we found that Lewisburg has on Philly is that our Dunkin Donuts is open 24 hrs. Every Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts we found was closed by 9:00 pm. What a shame. OK enough is enough. Bottom line...Philly was great!
