Wow, vilken helg vi har haft! Vi har haft fullt upp! Vi har verkligen haft en helt underbar helg!
I lordags tog vi 7am taget till Philadelphia. Nar vi kom fram vid 8:30 tog vi taxi till turistomradet och at frukost pa en restaurang. Vadret var redan da underbart och vi borjade vart turistande med att se Liberty Bell. Vi hade tur, nastan inget folk da, bara fem minuter senare var kon in hur lang som helst. Vi gick en bit och besokte Betsy Ross House och sag vart den Amerikanska flaggan skapades. Vidare till Elfreth’s Alley, en liten Brittisk gata och sen tillbaka till allt det andra historiska. Gick ett par turer inne pa Independence Hall, fodelseplatsen for Declaration of Independence och The Constitution. Sedan var det dags att checka in pa hotellet som lag vid vattnet.
Vi var nu i stort sett klara med allt turistande. Jag ville till ett fangelse som jag hade last om, men det lag for langt utanfor stan, sa det far vi ta en annan gang. Vi gick istallet och satte oss pa en uteservering pa en Irlansk pub. Sa otroligt god mat! Och solen stekte pa och det var verkligen plotsligt sommar. Underbart! Bredvid oss satt en Svensk skaning och skypade med alla mojliga personer i Sverige. Lustigt att hora svenskar som pratar och Jim tyckte det lat konstigt, hahha.
Det blev en snabb vanda till hotellet och sen ivag pa hockey.
Wow, what a weekend we’ve had! We have been so busy! We really had a wonderful weekend!
On Saturday we took the 7am train to Philadelphia. When we arrived at 8:30, we took a taxi to tourist area and ate breakfast on a restaurant. The weather was already wonderful and we began our tourist day with the Liberty Bell. We were lucky, almost no people there, just five minutes later, the line into the hose was so long. We walked a bit and visited the Betsy Ross House and saw where the American flag was created. We continued to Elfreth’s Alley, a small British street and then back to all the other historical things. Walked a couple of tours inside Independence Hall, the birthplace of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. Then it was time to check in at the hotel by the water.
We were now almost done with all tourism. I wanted to visit a prison that I had read about, but it was far outside town, so we have to visit that some other time. Instead we went and sat on an outdoor terrace on an Irish pub . So incredibly good food! And the sun was warm and it was suddenly summer. Wonderful! Next to us sat a Swedish “skåning” (south of Sweden) on skype with all sorts of people in Sweden. Funny that hear Swedes talking and Jim thought it sound strange, hahha.
Made a quick stop at the hotel and then off for hockey.
