Several other groups went on a mural tour around the "Gayborhood" neighborhood. Philly has the most murals of any city in the US, so they did not disappoint. Many take on social justice issues in execution. I could stand there and look at some of them for hours.
One group also painted chairs for use by BSM, in an effort to further encourage their efforts to introduce creativity and color into the space to create a welcoming and open place to be for all guests.
Our day off covered a large amount of ground and resulted in an exhausted group. We took a bus up to the art museum to explore the river front and check out the "rocky steps". We then bussed to the Reading Terminal Market and ate dinner there. Many opted for Philly classics like Cheesesteaks. We then walked to the plaza containing the Liberty Bell and independence hall and got our U.S. history lesson in. Finally, we walked to the beautiful south street neighborhood and enjoyed another Philly classic, Water Ice. In total, we walked around 9 miles!
That's all for now. Hoping to post about today (Thursday) later tonight. Again, I'll be posting many pictures from the coming days at the end of our trip.
