Kansas CWF delegates started the day on the road leaving
from Ohio and we made a morning stop and then we stopped for lunch, the
majority of us ate Steak And Shake and they were not prepared for a lunch rush
so it took us awhile to get through. As we made our way to Philadelphia many
delegates found themselves enthralled by the trees (because we don't have many
of those in Kansas), other related played cards and enjoyed movies. This
afternoon when we arrived in Philadelphia it was our first real chance to get
off the bus and sightsee. We went on a historical tour of Philadelphia where
several of us acted as a living timeline and also played historical characters
to help us better get an idea of some of the amazing history that Philadelphia
has lent to our country. Following the tour we watched Philadelphia 360 which
was a 3D showing in a 360 degree theater, at the end of the showing our
pictures appeared on the screen showing that we are part of our Nation's
history, it was our powerful moment, and we are all looking forward to making
some of our own history on CWF. We then retired to our hotel where many of us
ordered pizza, however some brave souls ventured over to an Indian resteraunt
where many of the menu items could not be pronounced. Our day ended as we met
and reflected.
From Reflections:
Pennsylvanians do not know what Canadian Bacon is;
Ten year old lacrosse playing boys from New Jersey have stereotypes about Kansas, including thinking we don't have cars, are huge rednecks, and all know Dorothy;
Marissa Bland may or may not have eaten bones;
Marietta has instructed us to text our parents (so if your child hasn't texted you. . .);
Phillip Werth is now Philips;
Laurin Wagner, Katie Buhler, Liz Johnson, and Haley Peterson, had the initiative to take their luggage up four flights of stairs;
We have now referred to ourselves as a mini army.
