Philly...The City of Brotherly Love

"Traveling and change of place impart new vigor to the mind." -Seneca

Philadelphia conjures up thoughts of Rocky Balboa, the Liberty Bell, Benjamin Franklin, and famous Cheesesteak sandwiches!

The "City of Brotherly Love" isn't just a nickname, it's a literal Greek translation ("philos," meaning "love" and "delphos," meaning "brother"). William Penn (as in Pennsylvania) came up with the city name.

Our hotel is right in the heart of the City Center and the area feels thick with revolutionary history. Today we're mainly focused on seeing the traditional tourist sites. The weather is awesome; warm and gorgeous! It's hard to go wrong with weather like this in September!
