Our first of two days in Philly was spent in the
Independence Historical Park, which includes the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, as well as many other worthy exhibits. We camped in New Jersey across the river and rode the subway to the historical downtown district each day. It's very well organized and easy to get around. The Welcome Center does a fantastic job of orienting you and helping to plan your visit. Highly recommended!
Independence Hall and the main meeting room, in which our Founding Fathers argued the question of indepence versus continuation under the Crown, finally agreeing to separation. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed in this room! Awesome!
We left here for a splendid meal at the
City Tavern,
a hold-over from colonial times (though it has been rebuilt like so many other sites.) It began to rain around noon and continued for two and a half days. So, day two was a museum day!
