Service learning students from the "City By the Water" group will be traveling to different parts of Philadelphia to explore the city's relationship with its rivers. Some of the places that students are going to include the Benjamin Franklin Parkway,Wissakicken Park, Schuykill River banks trail, and the Delaware River water front. This blog will share students responses to these areas and tell about our experiences as we try to find out how the city is affected by water.

Test Run Field Trip
Yesterday the mentors from City By the Water groups, Sam, Tsuefeng, Sofia, Stephen, and I, had our first test run field trip to the Schuykill river banks trail. We took the Broad st. line to city hall and then transferred to the Market-Frankford line and went west to 30th st. station. When we got off the subway, we followed the river trail. There wasn't manypeople there except for some bikers and joggers. We followed the trail all the way up to the Art Museum and the Water Works. When we were done there, we decided to go back to Temple and walked all the way from the Art Museum to City Hall. We didnt realize how much walking we were going to do until we got to 22nd st. The walk wasn't that bad, but because it was 100 degrees out the walk felt like forever. Over all though, I think we were able to come up with pretty good ideas for the students to keep things interesting. I hope they like them!!!
