No Liberty Bell

I wish we had gone to the liberty bell. We had to go after the tour in order to see it. We stopped three times (15 min each stop) and this took up the majority of our time. We went to the Love Park, got a Pic, whole foods for drink and bathroom, and then Rocky Statue but there were so many soccer fans, we couldn't get an actual Pic without them in it. Overall, it was entertaining and we learned a little. I think i wanted both more humor and more education.
