Welcome to PHILLY!
The oldest continually inhabited street in the US (And our tour guide, Jenn!)
We loved Elfreth's Ally because it was so cute!
The smallest house on the street was only 3m (9ft) wide!
Today
we had the best experience ever- waking up one hour later! (Leaving at 9 a.m.)
On
our way to Philadelphia we watched the movie “World Trade Center” and it was the
perfect way to say goodbye to New York City. And after two hours in the bus we
finally got to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Although
there’s a show called “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia" we found out that it
is not always sunny in Philadelphia. We spent almost 2 hours getting some lunch and shopping for souvenirs. A lot of
people took the chance to experience the “famous Philly Cheese Steak.” It was a
nice way to relax and get some rest.
After
this we went to the National Constitution Center, it
was an amazing way to learn more about American History, especially for those
who weren’t able to during the year.
At
the end of this, we met our Tour guide, Jen, who had a booming voice- perfect skill for a tour guide. With her
we made a tour for two hours. We visited the Liberty Bell, Benjamin Franklin’s
house, his grave, and some of the oldest buildings in the US. It
was cool and rainy so we had to finish our tour in the bus, but we still had the chance to run (walk) the Rocky steps...
At
dinnertime we went over to an Italian restaurant, where we ate a four course, traditional Italian meal- gelato included. It was funny because we thought we were just getting the first two courses and we were still hungry, but then another plate came!
This
was the end of our Philadelphia visit, and from here we took the road once more- this time to Washington D.C. When we got to our fancy hotel, dropped our stuff in our rooms, and then most of us hung out in the lobby until bedtime, playing cards, jenga & pool.
Today was tiring, but we learned a lot and enjoyed our time together! :)
