We headed for Philadelphia for a lunch break where the declaration of independence was signed in 1776, which gave America independence from Britain . The constitution was written also in Philadelphia in 1778, at the same time George Washington was elected as the first president of the USA.
Independence hall, independence square and the liberty bell ( symbolizing the anti slave revolution) are all found in the old town section of Philadelphia .
We left at 1230 for New York, arriving at 3 pm at the Skyline Hotel. After goodbyes we headed to our hotel a 20 min walk away. We are staying at the Salisbury Hotel on w 57th street near Central Park, for 2 nights.
Sue and John caught up with us for tea, and we enjoyed pizza , laughter and travel stories, followed by a walk through central park til 10pm.
It was a beautiful warm clear evening and tour director Sue, showed us new city sights we hadn't seen before- the archway where John Lennon was murdered and the penthouse where Yoko Ono lives.
