A stroll through the park

Since I’m here for my appointment at the Consulate, I might as well “do” Philadelphia.

With only two tours scheduled, I have lots of free time and I take it slow. I started by strolling through Washington Square Park and Independence Park. After a terrific lunch outside at Franklin Social Kitchen - with Pennsylvania’s own Yuengling, America’s oldest brewery — I spent the afternoon in the Museum of the American Revolution. This is a pretty new museum, and they’ve done an excellent job making it interactive.
