Philadelphia visit





I
visited Philadelphia, USA from March 9 to March 16, 2008. Philadelphia is the state capital of Pennsylvenia and located in the north to Washington D.C. and south to New York City. I went there to participate in the 71st meeting of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Philadelphia is a historically important city in the USA, where the Declaration of Independence and signing of the USA Constitution were taken place in 1776 and 1787, respectivily. Moreover, it was the capital of the USA from 1790 to 1800.

The meeting was held at Marriot Hotel in Market street and I was staying at Doubletree Hotel in South Broad street. Among the above photographs, the upper one was taken in front of the Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and the lower one was taken in front of the Independent Hall Visitor Center.
