I took my parents and grandfather on a walking tour of the Independence Mall area of Center City. We visited the then new National Constitution Center, took a ride on the Duck that covers Center City by land then goes out on the Delaware River!

The Ducks are a unique tour vehicle that drives on both land and water

The crew of this Nigerian container ship didn't know what to make of us, a bunch goofy people riding on a bus in the middle of the river
