Philadelphia - The City of Liberty
Just came back from a weekend day-trip to Philly (Philadelphia, PA).I went with my co-worker Winnie, some AIESECers in town (Pearl, Erica and Arnie), quite some walks, but I enjoyed the companies and the trip itself very much!
Philly was the capital of the United States and the Declaration of Independence was signed and announced there. And most important, the symbol for American liberation - the Liberty Bell, which is kept in the Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia now. The bell itself has a crack on it but just like the idea for liverty itself - it will not be perfect but because of the imperfectness, we will treasure it much more!
I was also impressed by how "quiet" the city was. Somehow Philly is also quite an important city on the east coast, however, when we were walking on the streets, it looked so empty. However, the architecture, the Art Museum and the settings of the downtown area are all very impressive! Maybe the only complaint from me was the high humidity, the thing I hated the most for summer, even at home. Well, afterall, we had some exercises (walking tours) and then sweated a lot; so hopefully it is a good sign for keeping ourselves fit ^_^
