I was over in North Carolina for a 1.5 week business trip. Over the weekend I decided to leave the South and head up to Philadelphia to explore US history.

I made it into Philadelphia in the early morning, made my way downtown and started exploring the sites around Independence National Historic Park straight away.I first stopped at the Liberty Bell to then continue on for Independence Square and a guided tour through Independence Hall led by an enthusiastic park ranger. After a quick lunch I continued in the National Constitution Center.
