Welcome to America's pride and joy. The Liberty Bell. It is a symbol of independence, freedom and blah blah something else ever so inspirational. The only thing i remember from all of the historical mumbo jumbo that attempted to educate me was that it broke after the first ring...lol... its a little funny. I bet Pass and Stow aren't so happy to have their name on the bell after that dodgy fix it job. But hey, when not everything goes to plan, we pretend it was meant happen and attach another symbolic meaning - the crack represents the hardship that was endured by America while attempting to claim their independence.
On a more historically important note, we set out to find which was better of the two alleged creators of the Philly Cheese Steak, Pat's or Geno's. They are about 20 meters from each other and both maintain that they are not only the creators, but have the better cheese steak... the lines to both places were huge, so naturally, Raquel and I bailed from the situation and sat in the bar that was between them and had a drink while Victor and Bart set out on their mission. Apparently Geno's had the 'juicier' steak.
Today we went Rocky hunting. We visited his statue and stood on his foot prints.

While Raquel's trip with me is coming to an end, I would like to introduce you all to the lonely view I will have for the rest of the trip as I have realised that 2xKayla strides = 1xVictor/Bart stride.
I have to work on my speed, clearly!
Thats all for now. Next stop, DC

The cheese steak rivalry reminds me of the AB rivalry in North Adelaide!
