Philadelphia

My wife, my sister and her husband and I are starting a new ritual; travel somewhere interesting together. We visited Philadelphia over a recent weekend. I have traveled extensively, but I had never seen the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall and Square. As we stood in the room where our country was born I was deeply affected by the space and the contemplation of what happened there. A few days later I voted in the presidential election. There's an incredible line of connection between the room in Philadelphia and the polling place in my little town in Minnesota.
