Time in Philly

70 hours in the City of Brotherly Love. I was lucky enough to stay in Society Hill, within walking distance of Old Town. There is so much American History in these few blocks that its overwhelming. At every turn you run into something so well known that every child learns about it in grade school. Independence Hall, The Liberty Bell, Christ Church, Betsy Ross House, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and many more.
Of all the sights I saw, the one that resonated most with me was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington square. "Freedom is a Light for which many men have died in darkness"





































































What trip to Philadelphia would be complete without seeing the Rocky statue.
Or a mad pig at City Hall. Its really a bear meant to represent the United States.














A cool surprise was running into Kieren Spain. We were hired by World at the same time, but in the past eight years I have only seen him once (Kieren made it to the big time and works for UPS now). We ran into each other in a corner grocery store. It was way cool seeing Philly guided by Kieren.
