We have arrived in Philadelphia, finally! It was a long day at airports and in airplanes. I am very glad to be at the motel tonight, hopefully getting a nearly full nights sleep! The students were wonderful today. They handled boarding beautifully and got through security without any issues. The layover was just long enough to get everyone fed without any major issues and gave us time to go over dinner with the group.
Dinner was cheese steak sandwiches for Tony Luke's in South Philly. They were good and gave us all a great taste of what a true cheese steak is.
We spent the evening in a community room at the town hall down the street from the motel. We gave the students a chance to get to know one another and to go over the rules one more time.
Pictures were at a minimum today, mostly because we were all rushing to get to the next flight. I know tomorrow will be a day filled with pictures and lots of fun.
We are headed to Princeton University in the morning, followed by an afternoon of fun at the New Jersey shore. We will be hitting the boardwalk and playing on the beach. The forecast is calling for rain, but I am crossing my fingers that it doesn't hit here. Good night, all!
I travelled to another universe. However alert we are, however much we think we know what will happen, antiquity remains an unknown, unanticipated galaxy. It is alien, and old people are a separate form of life. They have green skin, with two heads that sprout antennae. They can be pleasant, they can be annoying--in the supermarket, these old ladies won't get out of my way--but most important they are permanently other. When we turn eighty, we understand that we are extraterrestrial. If we forget for a moment that we are old, we are reminded when we try to stand up, or when we encounter someone young, who appears to observe green skin, extra heads, and protuberances.
