Easter in Philadelphia, part 2

Yes, we decided to spend this Easter in Philadelphia, again. What a good choice!
We started our trip with a visit to the Penn Museum (Jakob's teacher recommended it), where Jakob really could show off. We were impressed how much he learned about Egypt. There is still some hope...ha,ha.
Our hotel was a great deal at Jetsetter (Hotel Monaco), with a wonderful view over the historic district, right across from the Liberty Bell. 
The highlight of this trip was definitely the Rodin Museum!!! "The Thinker", I know him from all my philosophy books, here he was in front of me! 
And so many other famous sculptures, like "The Kiss", and most impressive "The Gate to Hell".
You can not top this! 
Maybe with a stroll through the streets of south Philly... Or with a dinner at an excellent Spanish restaurant...
Sunday belonged to the Museum of Art. Wow! Almost everybody knows the stairs from the "Rocky" movies. The huge art collection is stunning!  
We enjoyed the  unusual " Outsider collection" the most. 

Needless to say, the Easter bunny found us even in Philadelphia...

But how did this "Thinker" find his way to our home??
