Our last night in Philadelphia, a lovely urban break from our own urban jungle...

High above rivers (Philadelphia Day 1)
We started with a bike ride up Fairmont Park and into Laurel Hill Cemetery, which was beautiful, along the river, and above it. And then Whole Foods for breakfast/lunch, and a stop in the Eastern State Penitentiary. We went back into the city center and fumbled around with which patriotic site we should see before settling on the Constitution Center, which was an incredible museum examining the Constitution and the court cases that have interacted with it throughout history. It was incredible to see the current trends set up in the struggles of the founding fathers. We walked to Elfreth's Alley, dinner on a pier, and then halfway across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge for a look back to the skyline, high above the Delaware River. And then back to Market Street to the Franklin Fountain, ice cream.
