Hey everyone, my name is Kat and I’m from Belgium.

This morning was a little bit sad (leaving New York and half of our group behind) but also exited. We left with a group of 21 students to Philadelphia. After a bus ride of 2 hours, we stopped at Reading Terminal. This is a food court where you can find dishes from all over the world. I was so happy when I found a Dutch eating place.

After lunch, we went on to the National Constitutional Center. We first listen to a presentation about how America became independent. After this we could explore the museum a little bit more. We also got a little tour through Philadelphia, first by foot, then by bus. It was very interesting to see the possible birth place of America, Ben Franklin’s grave, the Liberty bell, and many others.

For dinner we went to a little restaurant, where some of us tried the famous Philly cheese steak. Afterwards we all got a lovely dessert, ice cream with caramel and a Danish cookie.

Now we are on our way to Washington DC, ready to go to bed. And I can’t wait till tomorrow!
