When we woke up this day, we knew this was going to be very emotional
for everyone in our group because for 20 of us the adventure ended at this
point.
At 9 our group was leaving for Philadelphia and we needed to
say goodbye or rather see you again. There were also some tears flooding
because this trip was so amazing!
We had an awesome time in New York and we already miss the
city that never sleeps and the great friendships we made in the last days L
While we were driving our great friends recorded a video of
them singing. This didn’t only cause happiness but bleeding ears. Thank you for
that ;)
After two hours we finally made it to Philadelphia which already
looked really pretty from the far. The weather was really nice that day and we
could already feel the air getting cleaner and the grass getting greener.
We first stopped at the Food Market in Philadelphia. We had
some free time to explore the whole market which was filled with all kinds of
food and some of us got really excited about seeing food from our home country J
After that we drove to the Constitution Center which was surprisingly good. We watched a
theater play about how America became independent and could then explore the
galleries and actually swear in as a president while we could see ourselves on
a big screen.
Later on this day we met our tour guide who showed us a
really pretty church that was over 300 years old and which was visited by very
important people such as George Washington.
After that we went to the Liberty Bell which should show us that
independence isn’t always perfect because the bell has a crack but it still
represents independence and freedom.
He also showed us really nice corners of Philly and the
grave of Benjamin Franklin and his wife and also the oldest post office in the
United States.
The end, which is almost our favorite part of the whole day:
DINNER! We had a traditional Philly Cheese steak which was very delicious. We
had a great time at the restaurant and also found out that “how are you?” in Czech sounds like Is your butt itching? In
German ;) We also had an arm wrestling competition before the bus came and then
it was time to say bye Philly, Hello Washington!
