We went once again to Philly to see several places we missed on the weekend. Lines were long on the weekend. We did see the Liberty Bell up close, but, somehow, I managed to lose the pictures. Grrr....

Elfreth's Alley, oldest continuous residential area in Philly. Many Irish immigrants lived here in the mid 1700's.
