Again, Happy Independence Day, Slopers. I am in Philadelphia for a while, and this morning, as I am wont to do, I strolled around early in the morning on a quest for a (medium-sweet) chai. I’ll say this about Philadelphia: they love their dogs. That’s apparent. So thumbs up for that. Here are a few photos from this morning. First, appropriately enough, here is the Second Bank of the United States (precursor to our Federal Reserve).
Here’s Carpenter’s Hall, where the First Continental Congress met. I truly felt like I was walking on hallowed ground, just being in this place.
And frankly, scenes like the one below mean as much to me as grand buildings:
And, of course, Independence Hall (I was amazed to get a shot with no people, because naturally on the 4th of July this place is swarming with invited guests and heavily armed security).
And, finally………..
