... Tim-Tams which they seemed to enjoy, but we could tell they were not the ORIGINAL from home but still ok to try. We also had meatballs and some deserts which made for a eventful evening.
The night was great and before people were leaving they even has pics on facebook.
We decided to clean up a little so the job would not be as bad in the morning and even slipped in a couple of Seinfeld episodes before sacking it around the 03:00 mark.

Got up at approx 7am with the mobile phone alarm going off......
Linda decided to stay in bed as I had a shower and warned up a little before heading to the tourist sites again before the bus loads of tourists all got there.

First up was the Whitehouse with a coffee from Macca's of course as a stopover of course.
When we got to the gates we started to take some pics. I decided to set up the tripod (all of 10cm high ...

... a sign that said all "Crown Access" tickets needed to check in at this building.
Too many people heard her and 1 dood jumped in front of here and when at the counter advised them he was with 24 others all behind us........so yep you guessed it.....they all went before us. We decided it would be better if we just grabbed a coffee and brekky and waited the 15 mins or so to get checked in.
We grabbed some brekky and it was the worst ever on the island......A coffee each which later ...

Just a quick one to say hi to all my mates from another US city of the revolution (a couple of hundred years ago) now the city of Brotherly Love & soft cheese ! Have spent a few days eating and drinking and catching up with Andy's former life / acquaintances etc - lots of rowing talk and seemingly collecting specimens for a stacked boat at Henley 2010. Back to London on Monday night and work shortly thereafter yeuck.

... and I would have liked to have seen the bell... but, oh well, next time maybe :)

The theatre we were playing was the Irvine Auditorium at University of Pennsylvania. The space was gorgeous. Not a lot of stage or wing space, but the theatre itself was stunning. Clearly it used to be a Cathedral, and now is used for orchestral concerts (amazing accoustics!) and theatre. Funny how that seems to be a recurring theme in history :)

... this Center that I have heard so much about. Later we will pick up Candace at the airport and meet up with Linda Watson for dinner. Sunday night we will get on the plane for a 12 hour flight to Aukland New Zealand. I will keep you posted!

The ground memorialized at Valley Forge National Park is known mostly for the suffering that happened there one long, cold, snowy winter during the American Revolutionary War. The rehabilitation of the continental army's forces that followed that spring changed the course of the war and, oddly enough, restored the bedraggled soldiers. The establishment of the park was to set aside the land as a means of educating ...

... long last, I've been allowed to come on one of Jenn's globetrotting extravaganzas. I'm very excited, but am starting to feel the pressure. There's already been talk of recruiting friends from nearby countries to come and join us in various cities. (C'mon coach - don't go to the bullpen just yet!) Fortunately, I think I've got an advantage for at least the first day as Jenn can barely keep her eyes open right now. We'll see how I fare once ...

... t know if it was because it was just nasty or because it was from a street vender. Anyway, I headed toward Washington Square where they had the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers from the Revolutionary War. It honors the thousands of soldiers who died during the American Revolutionary War, many of whom were buried in mass graves in that park. The memorial was built in 1954 and features an eternal flame and a statue of George Washington ...

... and poor. In Transylvania, they have an amazing castle, cheap delicious food, an interesting history, nice parks, and beautiful mountains. Every single building had some exterior decoration, no building was left undecorated. Favorite Drink: Vinsanto on Santorini. A very sweet Dessert wine that they often served after meals in restaurants. Unfortunately, the only time I had it at a restaurant, we thought it was a shot they gave us and we didn't properly enjoy ...
