艾爾弗蘭斯巷

做費城攻略的時候，發現了整條位於費城老城區不遠的住宅街，這裏也被稱為是全美最古老的一條街巷。整條街上的房屋大多建於十八世紀（1728-1836），現在街道旁的房屋中仍住着居民，前來参觀，也盡量降低音量参觀遊覽。整棟街上的房屋都有超過300年的歷史，整條街共有33間房屋，32間為住宅，另外一棟房屋則被改造成為了博物館，周末時開放給公眾参觀遊覽。紅磚牆、石子路、老式電燈，在這裏宛若穿越進古老的喬治亞建築時代，而且每一棟房屋都有自己的建築特色，雖然房子的時間比較久遠，但每一戶的維護也很好，完全看不出時代在房屋上留下的痕迹，整個街道並不是很長，可以從獨立宮自由鍾步行前來，街道的巷口有路牌標誌

美國精神的體現地，這裏的小旅館很多，這裏的青旅性價比都很高，我選擇住在這裏，很多住宅門上掛着國旗，是一片歷史建築區，房屋精緻。

入口不算明顯，有個小路牌，被稱為是美國最古老的住宅區，1728年到1836年的建築，目前124-126號建築是博物館，保留了18世紀，恢復到殖民時代的一般家庭樣式。依然有居民住在裡面，外面妝點得很可愛，古色古香氣息。我們就在外面逛逛拍照，如果在暑假，多一點時間去，那裏會有活動，穿著18世紀服飾導覽，很有意思的！

There is only a fifty-meter street in the old city of Philadelphia. I'm here on a special trip. I really like the feeling here. The 32 houses on both sides of the street were built between 1728 and 1836. At present, only two houses have been opened as museums. The rest of the old houses are inhabited by residents, and there is no sign of commercialization. Flowers adorn the front of the house. During the National Day, the Star-Spangled Banner became the most beautiful decoration.

It's strange for international tourists, but it's a famous lane for local people. Looking at the introductory signs on the street, we know that this alley basically keeps the appearance of the early Philadelphia streets in the United States. The streets and houses are the characteristics of Philadelphia architecture when the United States was founded. They are very quiet and are visited by tourists in twos and threes from time to time. The houses on both sides of the alley are still in use by local residents, so they can not be visited inside. At the end of the street there was a fork road, lush, with a small courtyard, where people taking wedding photos came to take pictures.

It's a short historic cottage street, but I don't know what to make a fuss about. Maybe as a European, all this is a little too common and familiar for us. Don't be too disdainful, but don't spend too much time here. There are many more interesting things to explore in Philadelphia.
