Philadelphia, PA

After visiting the Sheppard School, we switched gears - and visited University of Pennsylvania. The Humphrey Fellows were hosted by Dr. Doug Lynch, Vice-Dean of the Graduate School of Education. He entertained questions and answers from the fellows .....a stark change from issues the Sheppard School was experiencing - the fellows were told UPENN did not need students, they had plenty of $$, they had lots of resources, they, they, I. I, We, We.......it was a very different meeting......with a tour around central campus and a quick visit to Starbucks, we left UPENN and headed to our hotel. After taking time to digest our day, we spent the next 30 hours enjoying the city - Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Constitution Center, Reading Terminal, South Street!
On the way home, a stop over in Lancaster to experience "Outlet" shopping! Oh, I forgot to mention - the weather was GREAT!
