These United States [Wednesday, June 18, 2014]
"Since this is the closest this class is getting to the Fourth of July with me," Josh began, starting at his class from behind a pair of sunglasses, "it seems only fitting that we end up in the City of Brotherly Love-Unless-You're-Rooting-Against-Their-Teams, Philadelphia. Here, in Independence Hall just behind us, the Founding Fathers wrote a document on parchment in calligraphy that invited the King of England to bite us, if you please."
Thanks for that summary, Sam. Josh was going to steal it. "The more technical term for it is the Declaration of Independence and its held in the Archives back in Washington, DC, but here's where our nation started. Well, my nation, anyway. Your mileage may vary. We're gonna go have a look at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, then we're gonna head over to Reading Terminal for some food. I think it's a crime to leave Philly without having a cheesesteak and a soft pretzel." He tugged at his collar. "And some water ice. It's hot as hell here today. Imagine how the Founders must have felt in boiled wool and no A/C. Poor bastards."
He grinned at all of them. "And Riley Poole, one of the other teachers, has been invited to join us if he didn't have better things to do. Philly's one of his favorite cities."
Not really, Josh.
