Sunday, June 1, 2008

After leaving the beautiful gorgeous Niagara Falls, back into USA and onto Philadelphia.  A place of history and lovely old buildings.  Saw Liberty Bell with the large crack, Benjamin Franklins grave in a very old cemeterys, and row upon row of old homes.  Went on a Horse and Carriage ride around the old town, very interesting and informative. 
e.g. If you didn't buy the right insurance and have the mark of the company on your house, you were not saved in a fire.  Different way of getting business..

Very patriotic and historical, we sat on a bench for a while in the shade and found it was a story telling bench, and the lass sitting there with us told us about a famous woman in the history of this area. Really enjoyable

Only one night here on the way to Washington DC, looking forward to that for sure.

Great travelling blog
I have only seen Niagara Falls frozen and surrounded by snow. Great to see there is actually water there.
Have a wonderful time.

Love to you both
Vicki
