So we had a good solid day in Philadelphia after leaving New York.
We decided to play in the historical section of town!
| Graffiti Artists: They have things to do. |
| These people are doing relaxation exercises in 104 degree heat: good luck with that! |
| So this is the Liberty Bell. If you don't know why it's significant, look it up! |
| The other side. |
| The Dali Lama likes this bell. |
| A replica of the bell used by women suffragists. |
| And that's how it got its name. |
| Yeah! |
| Benjamin Franklin's Grave. |
| And marker. |
| We found the bar! |
| Oh man! You mean the Framers of the Constitution used to get trashed here?! Awesome! |
| Inside the City Tavern (very colonial). |
| A dish! |
| Nom Nom Nom... By the way, we officially endorse George Washington's Porter! We were quite happy strolling through our next stop... |
| ...Independence Hall! |
| In this room, The Declaration of Independence was signed. |
| It was also used as a court house! |
| In this room, The Constitution of the United States was argued, agreed upon, and signed. |
| It was hot that summer. They did not have air conditioning. Erica and I theorize that the only reason the framers agreed on anything was they all wanted to go the fuck home. |
| George Washington would have sat up front (the chair is the actual chair he used). |
| Benjamin Franklin would have sat here. |
| A full shot of the tower. |
| Yeah. It was hot. |
| See you in Gettysburg! |
Great pics!
