Next...

Back to the bus stop after the Franklin Institute!
Logan circle with city hall in the background.
On Logan Circle, looking up Benjamin Franklin Pkwy at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Hopped on bus, drove by Rodin.
Eastern State Penitentiary in Fairmount.
Backside of really cool Joan of Arc. It's the original commissioned by Napoleon III. Apparently, in 1890 the city asked for a copy and the sculptor gave it them. Sculpted a new version for Paris. (Fact lifted straight from Philadelphia guide book)
