Philadelphia

Our travels continued to the City if Brotherly Love.  Well, not quite to Philadelphia.  We got a hotel in Cherryhill, NJ - just over the bridge.  It was perfect. My goal for Philly was to see Independrnce Hall and the Liberty Bell.  We took the afternoon and saw both things, along with the Constitution Museum.  Mission Accomplished!  On to DC!
People told me the bell was small, but it was about the size I had expected .

Independence Hall, dwarfed by modern Philadelphia.
I did not know that Eldridge Gerry did not sign the Declaration of  Independence and that he was the dude that Gerrymandering came from!
