Trip to Philadelphia Waterfront
with "Duck" Tour

On June 26, 2008, a group from the Community Reformed Church traveled to Philadelphia
for a tour of the Historic Area and the Delaware River waterfront.

Our vehicle for the tour was a "Duck" — an amphibious bus that took us on land and water, for views of historic buildings and monuments and the Penn's Landing area. Our tour-guide, Tony, made it interesting and fun with his pre-scripted commentary with musical accompaniment while he drove the Duck on the streets of Philadelphia.

Before the Duck launched into the water, a "nautical-looking" gentleman took over the controls.

The highlight of our land-guide's performance was his rendition of "The YMCA," complete with the customary hand/arm signals to spell out the letters, Y M C A, while driving down a busy street with no hands on the steering wheel.

The group enjoyed lunch at a popular Philadelphia restaurant before returning to Whiting.
