In the footsteps of Rocky Balboa

Philadeplhia is the 5th biggest city in the United States and the place famous for the Rocky movies, where Silvester Stallone ran next to the water and up and down the steps which lead to the Museum of Art. The 72 stone steps before the museum entrance became known as the „Rocky steps“.

Visitors often imitate Rocky as a metaphor of an average guy rising to success. A bronze Rocky statue was placed on top of the steps, but now it's located on the left bottom of the steps in a park. The steps offer a view of the Benjamin Franklin park and the Philly City Hall.

In my later posts I will do a tour of the Museum of Art and the Philly streets.

Also this weekend was the weekend of box for Croatia. Our female boxer and my friend Ivana Habazin became the world champion! Big congrats to Ivana!
