Hi Carol,

Yes, it was a lot of questions and I did not know many either. I have been to Independence Hall twice in Philadelphia so I must have been more intrigued taking pictures then listening to the tour guide.

Hi Karen,

I have a friend who loves American history and just took the test for citizenship. He just couldn't get enough history and I bet he knows them all. I think I will send them to him.

Hi Rebecca,

Yes it is a good idea and I think I will. I have been busy posting info on the dog I am trying to get adopted. I guess this would be more fun.
