Had a very interesting day today. We went to the Independence Seaport Museum and went aboard the Olympia and Becuna. The latter being a WWII submarine and the Olympia an old 1892 steel warship. In 1898, the Olympia's guns fired on the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Manila Bay in the Philippines and the Spanish-American war began.
We saw Independence Hall and had a beer from George Washington's recipe at the City Tavern, where the founding fathers had a beer are two with their meals.
