Sightseeing was such a blast! My sightseeing activity was ice skating and sightseeing.

We started off the day by getting on a bus and heading to the ice skating rink. As someone who isn't the greatest at ice skating, I was nervous at first but quickly became comfortable on the ice. Being able to ice skate with friends was such a blast, and the memories I've created were some that I will definitely never forget.

Once we were done ice skating, we headed over to the Reading Terminal Market. My friends and I ate some much-needed sushi and, of course, a sweet treat afterwards.

Afterward, we went on a Big Bus tour, which was so cool! I got to see parts of the amazing city of Philadelphia that I've never seen in my life. My friends and I decided to sit on the open roof, which may not have been the smartest idea ever, but I am still happy I did it.

My personal favorite was seeing the Museum of American Jewish History building. This was so cool to see such an old building having so much importance to me and so many others. We finished our tour a little early and came back to the hotel, and little did I know that would be such a cool moment.

My friends and I had the amazing opportunity to meet Yoel Levy, also known as “The Jewish Fitness Coach.” It was so cool hearing from on his IC experience and how he is enjoying it. Overall, sightseeing was such a fun experience, and I had an amazing time.
