A taste of Philadelphia

Hello World! My tour of the big country continues, I'm now in Whitehall, Pennsylvania hanging out with Alicia and Bear.

But today I want to share with you a brief rundown of the four days I spent in Philadelphia with Meg - so here's an epic photo post!

First up we went shopping at South Street, its such a cute and quirky street with lots of fun stores and art is everywhere!

We visited and amazing mosaic wonderland called "Philadelphia Magic Gardens" - a space where a local artist had created a huge mosaic. It's so beautiful!




We went to visit the Liberty Bell - its actually much smaller than you think!

We also visited a beautiful portraiture gallery.


We also visited Benjamin Franklin's house and post office. 

We visited the Love Park & I took a cheesy photo!
We went to visited the Rocky Statute and posed appropriately!
 We visited the Rodin Museum and I had my photo taken by the "Gates of Hell" and checked out some of the other amazing sculptures.

 Finally we went to the Eastern State Penn and got to see a recreation of Al Capone's cell and check out some amazing old buildings.
