We departed Niagara Falls and drove to Seneca Falls. What is the significance of Seneca Falls, you might ask? It was the sight of the first women's rights meeting in 1855 or so. There is a women's history museum and a store selling only woman made products. Not only that, but Seneca Falls is also thought to be the city that inspired the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". The town is very nice and quaint and they don't have any cheap hotels, so we stayed in a B & B. This was a first for my young companion and it couldn't have been a nicer spot for us. Our last few hotels were not so great. The B & B was on the water and we went for a paddle boat ride after dinner. The falls were nowhere is sight, though. We had a wonderful breakfast the next morning and then drove south to Philadelphia.
In Philadelphia, we are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn near China Town. A very nice hotel with the best internet connection we have had yet! We spent today walking around and visiting the historical sites. A fun time was had by all. We saw the Liberty Bell, walked down the oldest inhabited street in the US, visited Franklin's grave site and watched a revolutionary soldier train in some new recruits. We hoped to visit the US Mint, but were not allowed in with cameras. We also stopped off at an animal shelter and pet about 20 cats. For lunch, we had a Philly cheese steak from a street vendor that was de-licious.

Hey guys! Just thought I'd say after reading your post about going to an animal shelter that the cats for sure miss you, mona's rubbing up against everything on the desk right now and doing her crying meow. I miss you too of course!
Love, Ash
Tell the cats that we miss em'!
Love
