Philadelphia

Hi All,
Sorry we haven't been updating you all on our adventures lately, but I hope you have been enjoying the photos.

Our B&B was about a 10 minute walk to the city centre, or we could catch the train, but I enjoyed the walking as you always found interesting things. Our digs were unusual (see the photos) to say the least, but cute row house, with separate rooms for each "pair" - Mim & Lol, Dave & Herb & Mike & I. We were on 3rd & 4th floors, up a very narrow staircase with a shared kitchen for the girls & us.

The area was quite ethnic, as we were one block away from 9th street market, which was a mix of mainly Italian and Mexican. Had a pizza in an authentic little pizza joint on day one, I felt like we were in a movie set, with all the Philly accents around.

Day two, lots of history & beautiful architecture, we visited - Town Hall, Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where there Declaration of Independence was signed - even saw the final draft).

Sorry there is no photos - Herbs computer battery has died and he needs a new one we think, so they might be a while, or maybe upon our return.

Much love from all.
