City Adventure!

On Labor Day I ventured into Philly for the "Walk, Bike, Ride" assignment with Dave. We took the subway into center city and got off at City Hall. We explored around there for a little bit, and heard a great musician playing the soprano saxophone. We also saw the "Love" sculpture, and I was extremely disappointed. I was under the impression that it is HUGE, but it's tiny! The fountain behind it was nice though. We walked around a little bit more and eventually made our way to Rittenhouse Square. It was fun to people watch and get some drawing in. I saw some other student photographers while sitting there. After that we heard a really great brass band playing outside the square, and they appeared to be mostly related. They were really talented, and the youngest members didn't look much older than ten or twelve. After Rittenhouse, we walked over to Washington Square. From there we started to head over to the Liberty Bell. I had never seen it before! It was pretty much just what I expected. But it was neat to finally see it. On the way over to see it, we were harrassed by a rickshaw driver. He was really mean! I don't think he gets much business if he gives everyone such a hard time. After the Liberty Bell we made our way back to Temple. It was a fun adventure getting to know Philly better.
