We had a one-day stop in the city of brotherly love - Philadelphia! Again extremly hot & lots of walking with the main highlights being the liberty bell & the rocky steps!
We left Philadelphia on Thurs & the crazy (super cheap!) chinatown bus dropped us an hour walk (although Mike seemed to think it was closer :p & lied about exactly how far it was going to be!) with massive HEAVY bags & lots of lovely sweating & cursing we made it to the hotel in Washington...which actually turned out to be pretty good (with free internet & nice brand new showers!)
After an early start this morning to avoid the heat we have seen many of sights including Capitol Hill, the White House, the Library of Congress (which is apparently the biggest library in the world and where national treasure 2 was filmed), the air & space museum, the national gallery & of course the Washington monument. We also came across some presidential campagine where many people were ranting about "WE KNOW THE TRUTH"although we doubted that very much...just lots of people randomly agreeing! After having seen all that we then saw everything again by night (and now here I am sat on PC with very sore feet & need to sleep...but its the only time the computer is free!)
Tomorrow another long day planned ..will escape into museums to avoid afternoon sun, I think the plan is Hollocast museum & Natural History... Also the Pentagon & some Japanese thing... lol
Have added a couple more pics to facebook but it takes FOREVER so given up for now, might try add couple more tomorrow night before we leave.
Hope your all well, speak to you soon!
