So here we are - July 2 - EARLY morning starting the adventure...haven't met each other yet! We had only one flight...and it was humbling to see how excited our friends from NMMU and Ulster were even though they all had 1- 2 hour delays and had been traveling for 15- 30 + hours!!
Our first meeting as a group was outside by the Georgetown Suites....and then off to a much needed dinner. It was like we were meeting friends we hadn't seen in a long time ....and I think the friendships are only going to get stronger.
July 3 was a long day with lots of metro rides, but I was again impressed by how everyone helped each other...and by the questions at our visits: Mr. Malloy McDaniel of Senator McConnel's office (the Capitol was beautiful), National Fair Housing Alliance (raised provocative and interesting questions...great people) and Mr. Shelby Coffey of the Freedom Forum (what wisdom!).
I look forward to your photos from July 4th and Memphis....take care and I'll see you tomorrow on campus at ~1.30.
P.S.I hope you get to sleep in tomorrow :)
