Visiting the Old City of Philadelphia is one of the most emotional things I've experienced. I walked around with a choke and a quiver at the notion of revolutionary pursuit of independence and freedom.

I'm including some pictures, I never take enough, but it was pretty cool.

Went to the Christ Church cemetery and visited the grave of Benjamin Franklin. Seeing the numerous memorials to children who died and were buried with their parents (including Franklin's four year old) reminded me of the perils of prior ages and the amazing world of medicine and comfort we live in today. It was hard to imagine the tremendous amount of loss families routinely endured.

Cool trip, somber day.
