Philadelphia is a city rich in history and national landmarks but more than anything I wanted to see the Rocky statue. So that was the first port of call when we reached the city. After posing next to the statue I ran up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the hordes of others who had the same idea.
I was sightseeing with Dad and our next stop was Reading Terminal where we ate Philly Steaks. A thinly sliced steak on bread with cheese. Then visited the Liberty Bell before watching what is apparently the world's largest HDTV in the lobby of the Comcast Centre. The Comcast Experience is a 2,000 square feet television.
The highlight of the week following was wandering the streets of Indiana while it was snowing. It is the only time I can recall seeing snow fall and it was a lot more exciting for me than it was for the locals who thought winter was over.
Last night I watched Sara Bareilles perform at IUP. Her 'Lovesong' was a world wide hit last year and it was clear most of the crowd (including myself) were there to see her perform that song. She is not someone I would normally see perform but for $10 it was a cheap night out. The security checks and lack of alcohol reminded me of an underage gig.
Tomorrow I am boarding a train to spend my last few days in the states exploring the city that never sleeps, New York.
Happy Easter to anyone reading.
