We're in the "fellowship hall" area with about 65-70 chairs set up. It is cozy, --- not unusual to be elbowed by person sitting next to you. Room is comfortable, glad I have long sleeves and coat, altho' it is really nice and warm in the afternoons. Interestingly, I have noticed two "drop mikes" in the congregation part of the seating area, not sure why. They have a good technology set up, with wireless mikes and computer/ overhead type projections. This ministry has about 12-15 folks on staff one of which is a tech guy.
First class this morning about SIN--talked some about Cultural Bias, Other topics that I may or may not discuss here.
Lunch was interesting at the Sandwich Shop. Advertised in the window was the "Camel Rider Sandwich"--which by the way is NOT made with camel meat. It is a sub that has lots of meats on it- and when we mentioned it to a lady from New York, she knew just what it was. So I am guessing that this is an East Coast phrase. Also at the Sandwich Shop were "steak in a sack" and "turkey in a sack". Yes, they were served in a brown paper bag, but the "sack" referred to a pita bread.
Some interesting folks we have met are from Pittsburgh (there are 10 here from the same Anglican church), the lady from New York, whose last name is Pike- and she was trying to find connections where I am sure there are none. Have met a lady from Jamaica, a man from Uganda, folks from Colorado and of course Floridians.
Supper tonite was Applebee's and we are trying to follow V's rule that we don't eat anywhere we could eat in Bwd. Actually that leaves us quite a number of options. I do SO appreciate V's driving since I am directionally challenged. Our rental car is a Chevy called an HHR.
. Seems to be quite new and is easy to turn around, which we have had to do more than once. Tomorrow will be easier to navigate, I am sure.
An interesting/ tiring day.
