Walking around Philadelphia

Ben Franklin bridge into New Jersey.  There is no toll going into NJ, but you have to pay to get out, haha.

We thought this building was so cool, but didn't know what it was.  Finally we found a sign and read about it, but now I have forgotten what it is again :/.

Most lion statues look so ferocious.  I like how this one looks like he's about to fall asleep. <smile>
 First Bank of the United States - it failed.  But it was a cool building, nonetheless.
Looking up into a tower built for no discernible reason.  I liked it, anyway.

A map with three dimensional models of significant buildings and descriptions in braille.  Cool.
 Hee, hee.  Fortunately, or unfortunately, there was a Krispy Kreme a couple of blocks from our apartment.  There were Dunkin' Doughnuts everywhere in Philadelphia, seemingly on every block, but not so many Krispy Kremes.  Whenever we were carrying Krispy Kreme boxes (not that that was a frequent occurrence or anything ;), people would stop us and ask, "Is there a Krispy Kreme around here?!?!?"
Everyone knew where Dunkin Doughnuts was, but evidently no one knew about the poor Krispy Kreme.  I found this amusing as I was severely navigationally challenged in Philadelphia, but pointed lots of locals to the Krispy Kreme!
