My cousins arrived last evening around 5pm. We took a little walk around town and then came back for dinner of ham, potato salad, and coleslaw. We talked for a while and then turned in. When we got up this morning, we headed for Philly. After wondering around one-way streets and Market St where you can not make any turns at all for 10 blocks, we found a place to park. We got to Independence Mall and the line for the Liberty Bell was and hour wait in the hot sun. We proceeded to Independence Hall and the tours were all filled up until 4pm. We looked around the grounds and then headed for Geno's Steaks. My cousin Meaghan wanted a Philadelphia cheese steak. We once again wondered around the one way streets and were about to give up when we saw it. It was fun to get the cheese steak, eat outdoors in South Philly at the famous shop. We enjoyed our steaks sandwiches and then headed for Gloria Dei, Old Swede's Church. Our ancestors founded the church in the early 1700's and it is the oldest congregation still having Sunday Services. It is a quaint little church nested in a wooded church yard near the I 95 expressway. The trees shield the church from the noise of the traffic.
We came back home and everyone is tired out and napping.
