Last Wednesday the US history class went to Philadelphia on a field trip, and their teacher Mr. Landis was very nice and invited all the exchange students to come with them. I have never been to Philly before, so this was a great new experience. Since it’s a long drive to Philadelphia we had to leave Somerset at 5:45 am. Around 10:30 we arrived in Philadelphia, and since no one had eaten yet, we walked through the city to a food marked. After lunch we went to Independence Hall, where we got a guided tour. To be honest, the tour wasn’t the most interesting I’ve ever been to, I even think Mr. Landis would agree with me.

Benjamin Franklin’s grave. It’s a custom to throw coins on his grave, so we did 🙂

Then we went to this museum place, where they had to-scale-staues of famous people. As you can see, Miguel and I had so much fun!
Haha, we practiced for our prom pictures
Next we went to East State Penitentiary, where we got a guided tour of the penitentiary. Our guide was amazing, he was so enthusiastic and he made the tour really interesting. Now I know so much about the history of East State.
Al Capone, who was a famous gangster was once imprisoned here.
