After packing our bags we are off to Penn
Station to catch the 10.35 train to Philadelphia, arriving at 12.00pm. We are staying at the Sofitel and the room is
lovely – huge separate bedroom, lounge, bathroom (with bath!) and extra room
for luggage!
We set off for a walk going first to
Reading Terminal Market – the longest running market in all of America – whatever food
you wish to buy is there! Amazing J
After sampling some of the fare we continue
walking and visit Betsy Ross’ home.
Betsy tempted fate by making the very first American flag for George
Washington – and by doing so risked arrest and hanging for treason as it was an
act against the King. She changed the
star from a six pointed star (that George Washington wanted) to a five pointed
star, which was easier to create, especially in such large numbers .. Betsy
won!
Back to the hotel and after a freshen up
and change of garb we have a few drinks in the bar and then head to Talula’s
Garden for dinner. Great food and
wonderful service – ask for Jennifer – I would definitely recommend J
