who lives in PA. ,near Scranton. Had a nice visit and dinner with them. She is expecting in about 5 weeks. Thursday was a crappy day with rain and very hilly and narrow roads...we hit a 12% grade at one point...not nice with a big rig. This was on secondary roads, which we prefer normally, but Thursday really was not a nice day to be doing that. Friday the 5th ,had us take Brandy for her monthly ( haircut), while Sue and I sorta drove around. We drove into the train station today ( we're staying in NJ ) and took the PATCO (Port Authority Transportation Company) train into Philly. The Liberty Bell saw me for the second time, as I'd been here a few years ago with a friend to see a football game. It was a first for Sue and she seemed to enjoy, it in spite of the lengthy lineup. We visited some of the buildings in Independence Square and tried to visit the mint, but they must be a union shop and are only open Monday to Friday. After the visitor centre, we took a city bus up to the Mutter Museum. This place generally displays medical oddities and instruments from "days gone by". It's amazing how well preserved body parts are after many years in formaldehyde. It is part of the College of Physicians. The first photo is the Liberty Bell, the second a reflection of the modern buildings downtown.Tomorrow ( Sunday), Maryland is the destination.
