About Me

The next and final stop was the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.  I was a bit disappointed that one had to go through security checks (like at an airport) to visit these historic sites.  They even asked John if he had a pocket knife in his camera bag.  He didn't. We walked through Liberty Bell Center which displayed lots of stuff on the Liberty Bell (most of which I didn't feel like reading).  At the end of the Center, the Liberty Bell was displayed.

Did you know, on the reverse side of the Bell, Pennsylvania is spelled Pensylvania?  Not sure if it is an error or if that's how the state name was spelled back then.  I guess if I had taken the time to read some of the stuff in the Center, I would have found out.
