A day in the area of Philadephia

Today I did some touring and seeing of sights. This morning it was off to Valley Forge, bright and early. I enjoyed especially the statue of Gen. von Steuben, the Prussian, overlooking the grounds where the first organized Army was trained and drilled.

There is a lovely Episcopalian chapel on the grounds, well worth visiting. The glass in the chapel depictes the life of George Washington, inter alia. Here is a detail from the glass of the General in prayer.

And finally, we had to have a bit to eat. And since I very much enjoy speaking ENGLISH in the USA, we went to Geno’s for a proper Philly Steak.

It was a perfect day, with sunshine and low humidity.
