... my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days

Arch Street Meeting House, Philadelphia
This is the largest Quaker (Society of Friends) Meeting House in the USA. The city of Philadelphia was founded by the Quaker William Penn. The property was originally a Quaker cemetery. A century later the building was erected in 1804.

This street is claimed to be the oldest continuously occupied street in the USA. It has been occupied since 1713, these houses date from 1728.
View from Penns Landing of Benjamin Franklin Bridge on the Delaware River, Philadelphia
Penns landing is where the Quaker William Penn landed, who founded the city. The city had a reputation for religious tolerance in a era when that was rare.
Irish Monument, Philadelpia
This monument commemorates the Great Hunger (or Potato Famine) in Ireland. Many Irish left Ireland for Philadelphia because of the famine.
Independence Hall, Philadelphia
Two great American documents took shape here - the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Hotel 17, Manhattan, New York
This hotel appeared in a bad light in Woody Allens film Manhattan Murder Mystery. I stayed here for one night before catching the plane from JFK. I only stayed for one night because anywhere on Manhattan island is expensive. This place cost me $US139 for one night, for a room the size of a closet, with a shared bathroom. Despite that this hotel which was built in 1906 has a lot of character.

There were a lot of people around because of Hallowean, but there wasn't much splendour because it was raining so hard! Stuart
