The Liberty Bell, November 1977, Philadelphia, PA

The top picture of me standing beside the Liberty Bell confirms that this lengthy trip took place in November of 1977 rather than 1976 or 1978. 

The glass enclosure for the Liberty Bell was built across the lawn from Independence Hall for the crowds that turned up for the Bi-centennial of the nation celebrations in 1976.  But they left it up for quite some time after that year.  Had this been 1976, we would have had a tough time and a long line to deal with to see this.  But this being a year later, the crowds had diminished considerably.

The bottom photograph is of a fountain not far from Independence Hall.
