What is liberty? What does it mean to ring free in the truth? We all have our ideas that fit our lives today. But what were the answers when the bells in Philadelphia rang in 1776?
We were able to view the Liberty Bell through the glass windows and walk around these historic grounds. Thanks to the US Government shutdown we able to partake in a bit of history ourselves. Being among the many tourists visiting our National Parks, which were closed, was an interesting experience. The thing that struck me the most was the fact that most of the ‘security’ guards were treating the tourists like evil doers. If you got too close to the barricades they would blow their whistles, point their fingers at you, and intimidate you into backing up. The next thing that became apparent was the fact that the tourists still showed up, by the hundreds, and there was not an open restroom in the National Parks which put a strain on the area businesses.
Huge fall leaves always make me smile.
So glad that you guys had such a great time in spite of the rudeness that you endured. There was no reason for all that to begin with. But you kept smiling through it all!! : ) Yeah YOU!!! xoxo ny mom & ..Bob!
