Today was our last full day in Philadelphia. We started with a good hearty continental breakfast, then off to our first seminar for the day. After the seminar we walked over to the most historic square mile in the United States. Most specifically we were going to check out the Liberty Bell. We went into the Liberty Bell Center, which we had to go through security to get in. It was pretty interesting to see it, and probably the most surprising thing was that it wasn't behind more security. Other than the metal detectors to get into the building, the Liberty Bell itself was only behind a short medal fence to keep people far enough away. Without even reaching as far as I could, I could have easily touched the bell. I refrained though, as I wasn't sure if I would be rushed and thrown to the ground by some security guard. Got lots of pictures though.

After seeing the Liberty Bell, we walked down to South Philly towards the Italian Market for lunch. We found a nice little pizza place to get our pizza fix. This place was right near Pat's and Geno's, so if we were still hungry we could have gotten another great Philly Cheese Steak. After lunch we walked back up towards the convention center through Antique Row which was a very neat street. (I find myself saying that a lot about different streets here in Philadelphia).

We got back to our hotel, I locked myself in my room to watch the Michigan - Ohio State game (poor Michigan, all I have to say is Michigan still better make the BCS National Championship Game). After that, we all headed down to the Independence Brew Pub for some dinner.
