Day 52: Eye of the Tiger

Since we got into the city late, we decided to head back down after my visit to explore a little more. We found ourselves a nice restaurant where we got to sit out on the patio and enjoy the sun with some happy hour beverages. The plan was to get a picture with the LOVE sign that exemplifies the city of Brotherly Love. Until we got there and figured this out:


wah-wah

So, what did we do instead? We thought about it and finally came up with some more Philly cultural iconography. Liberty Bell, maybe? Nah, I'd already done that. Independence Hall, perhaps?  Not today. No, we went to see the famous Rocky Steps (aka Philadelphia Museum of Art steps) to get a picture with the Rocky statue and run the steps. They even had the temporary "AMOR" sculpture by Robert Indiana still standing at the top of the steps.

There were lots of tourists who had the same idea.  We had to wait in line to get our picture, and enjoyed what may have been the best view of the Philly skyline we had ever seen. Philly is a neat city that Ellaine got to explore for the first time ever, and we will definitely be visiting again in the near future.
