From the very beginning, this city was just a stopover between Washington and Boston. Honestly, I didn't want to come here (and I still think I should have stayed in Washington for one more day to see all the museums), but I had already missed the morning bus, and no one had canceled the Philadelphia-Boston ticket, so I had to go by car with David.

Tip: If you are traveling by car, be careful! Missing the right turn on the highway means losing about an hour of time to turn back and try again.

Studying the map and swearing with every word we knew, we tried to bypass the Tolls (these are points on the roads where you have to pay to continue). We arrived in the city at 5:30 PM (of course, all the museums closed at 5).

There are exactly 2 things to see in Philadelphia: the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Well, okay, the LOVE statue too. We saw the bell, but the Hall only from the outside; there was some construction work inside, and they weren't letting anyone in.

Since we ended up in this city, I thought, we have to try a Philly cheesesteak. How much time do you think it takes for 2 more or less adult people to find a Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia? The correct answer is 1 hour and 20 minutes)

Just as we finished eating, a downpour started, and we decided to head back to the car. And suddenly, without any warning, 1,700 completely naked people on bicycles decided to ride through the main streets of the city! Such is life.

It made no sense to look for accommodation for one night, so we slept in a beautiful parking lot. A very unusual experience)

Philadelphia is the city where the famous movie "Rocky Balboa" was filmed. David used to box, it's his favorite movie, so we went to those very steps that Rocky climbed, from which there is a stunning view of the city.

After eating some junk food, we reached the bus station and said goodbye. I didn't expect this from the city, but it was fun)

Boston was ahead.
