It's official: I have been to all three of our nation's capitals. Now living in the first, visited DC 2 yrs ago and I went to our nation's second capital last weekend. Philadelphia is about an hour and a half away from NYC by train. Cara was in Philly all week for an anthropology conference, so I went to visit her there over the weekend. We spent most of our time in the downtown & "Olde City" areas, seeing historic sites and doing a little shopping. Philadelphia is a nice city, from what I saw. It had a small city feel to it and was a nice change from bustling and humongous NYC. Cara and I had a good time exploring and here are some pics:
Independence Hall---Where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the Constitution drafted and the Liberty Bell once hung.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
City Hall
Ethan and I are headed to Newport, RI this weekend to see his sister and family. Stay tuned for more photos! Happy Easter!

Hi,
I've been to Philly a couple of times and it is far different than DC or NYC. Sounds like all is well. It was 80 degrees here last Friday and about 60 today. Spring is here!
Pete
