October 7, 2009. Day 80 Philadelphia PA






On October 7th, we woke up to Jim firing up his campsite wok to cook everyone breakfast. He said he wanted to fix us all his famous burritos. All he needed from us was the tortillas, cheese, eggs, bacon, potatoes and butter to cook it all in. He had the green chili. After the great burritos we all drove to downtown Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell and tour Independence Hall. The Bell was kinda anticlimactic after you go through a series of information boards leading up to the room that holds the bell. Maybe we’ve seen too many replicas. The tour of Independence Hall wasn’t very exciting either but that had more to do with our tour guide having little personality and barely a pulse. After the tour we drove to Philadelphia’s China Town. We walked around hoping to find a descent Chinese Restaurant but they all looked old and run-down. Finally we chose one to try and it ended up be very good and reasonably priced. We were pleased. When we got back to camp Jim took a nap and some of us went walking. Later Jim cooked up some leftover chicken and some vegetables and we had more burritos. We had had a good day but most of us were tired so we all bedded down early.
