iwannagothere.com This is travel, not tourism

Adriii finaly got the time to do her long-time expected train-trip through the north-east coast of the United States… and she is telling us about her journey!

I left you in the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.  After taking some pictures we came back to the Philly side of the bridge and discovered the Benjamin Franklin Park –yep, they’re everything but original…-. It could be any park except for the minigolf you can find there. It’s so funny because each hole is dedicated to one touristic place of the city and it’s cheap to play if you have time.

But we just have one day to visit the city so we continue walking from there, through Chinatown –yeah, it seems to be one of them in every major city- to the Reading Terminal Market. This is one of those places you found unintentionally but becomes one of your most recommended places. Lots of foods, stands, people, life… and the Chocolate by Mueller. Ohhh…. Saliva go away.

We could have stayed there forever but the City Hall was the next stop. This area is full of interesting places. After visiting the City Hall insides we discovered the Observation Deck. Do NOT miss it. Great views of the building insides from the elevator and great sight of the city from the Deck.

Then it was time to go to the Masonic Temple. Don’t miss this because it’s so unique and interesting. Each room has a different culture decoration. At this point you probably wonder when we’re going to eat! Yes, it was a long morning so we just started walking looking for a place to have lunch. During the searching, we found the LOVE Park. It’s a big, full of life park. I’m glad we found it. There’s a sign that tells you about the LOVE fountain being colored sometimes… what a shame we just saw the usual blue.

Also, we encounter The Murano. It’s a quite tall building so you kind of see it from every spot of the city, but we walked right next to it. It must be great living there… I can’t even imagine how much the rent for the apartment on the top is

Finally! We arrived to Devil’s Place. It may be sound a little too much but YES, I ate the best hamburger I’ve ever eaten. It’s a shame I didn’t take a picture of it like mi friend did… his was pretty big.

Two posts for just half a day! Philly it’s wonderfully tiring!
