Yummy breakfast downstairs then we were
picked up from the hotel to join the “Hop On Hop Off” Bus around Philly. We take the whole trip first before deciding
where we should concentrate our energy.
When we arrive back at the start we have time to co across the road to
visit the very famous ‘Liberty Bell’.
First rang in 1751, the Liberty Bell has become a symbol of
liberty. The Liberty Bell's inscription is from Leviticus
25:10: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants
thereof."
Our next stop is the Barnes Foundation – Dr Albert Barnes made his money
through science then invested in Modernist artworks and trained himself to
become a 'connoisseur' of art. This
exhibition holds the largest collection of Renoirs anywhere in the world. He obviously had a penchant for Matisse, Modigliani and Cezanne as there are many of
their works there also.
We rested at the hotel for the afternoon, enjoyed a cocktail in the bar
downstairs, then headed down to Le Cheri, a French restaurant 251 South 18th
St – absolutely divine! Would thoroughly
recommend.
Back to the hotel for nighty-nights J
