Day 11 Philadelphia & Washington DC

Early morning took a train to chinatown to start our tour. Its a 3 days 2 nights to Philadelphia, Washington DC, Corning Museum of Glass, Niagara Falls and 1000 Islands. It cost USD165 per person. Buy 2 free 1 person. So it's kind worth the deal. It includes hotel and a few entrance fee for certain place. Breakfast provided by hotel, the rest of the meal is at own cost.

First stop is at Philadelphia. Tour guide said this is the first public toilet in the US. :) I used it.


Can't recall what building is this. But need to book a few months in advance to get the ticket. 

Opposite is Liberty Bell. This help stuff is not working.


Tradition tells of a chime that changed the world on July 8, 1776, with the Liberty Bell ringing out from the tower of Independence Hall summoning the citizens of Philadelphia to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence by Colonel John Nixon. Quoted from a website.


The next stop is at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Boring place to me. A lot of air craft thingy. 

So we got bored, we walk out .. to don't know what building is this. 

The weather is much hotter in DC !

Next stop. Finally at the White House. Apparently the President is not in because there is not much guard on top of the roof. That's what the tour guide said.


Went for second Madame Tussaud but in Washington DC. Plenty of President mannequins.
D in 100 dollar. hehehe 

The Kennedy 

 



Opposite is a beautiful church 

Next went to Jefferson Memorial



I think behind us is Korean War Memorial

Next we went to Lincoln Memorial  


With such a hot weather finally reach the top of it. Remind me of Taiwan, a memorial for .. hmpp what's tht guy name. 

That end our day. With a chinese dinner buffet. Yummy food. The hotel for the night in Maryland was great too.
