The Philadelphia Art Museum - most famous for the steps that Sylvestor Stallone ran up in the original Rocky movie before punching the air (are you now humming the theme tune??) - very funny to stand here and watch loads of people re-enact that scene from the movie.
The Eastern State Penitentiary built in the 1820's this place had running water before the White House - when it was first opened prisoners were taken to their cell with a hood over their heads and never saw another person during their whole sentence - fed through hatches/exercised in a small yard of their cell and hooded if they ever had to leave.......
Think the photo's about cover my few days in Philedelphia - the sun came out which made it really nice to wander round the city Lots of history here and it's a fairly laid back & pretty city.
Travels continue to go well - no disasters or illnesses (avoiding Pig Flu!) and no gossip for you....so am going to head off and get myself to bed.
Will be back soon.....
