_Day 16 - 30 June - 28 miles
Independence - Philadelphia
The Road
City traffic makes me insane! Fortunately Thom knows his way around Philadelphia or we would never have ventured into the madness! The Parks The home of Edgar Allan Poe was the one place that held personal interest for me, though Philadelphia is filled with National Historic sites to suit any fancy; the Swedish Church, Gloria Dei; Thomas Kosciuszko, the Polish battlefield strategist; Ben Franklin; Germantown; not to mention Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. We’ve begun referring to this trip as a “Sampler Tour”. There just isn’t enough time during our brief stays to see all that an area has to offer! Lodging Gratitude at being welcomed here is giving way to being overwhelmed with the constant flow of people. Spending time walking or sitting on the porch brings some relief from the chaos, but I am ready to get back on the road! |
