Hey everybody! We're currently one hour away from New Gloucester! We had many moments along the way including breakfast in a greasy diner, some awesome tours and interviews at Hamilton, a very long car ride, a nice dinner on a lake, watching some Game of Thrones (which I highly recommend for any of you who have not seen it), seeing the beautiful hills of Vermont, watching the sun set in Maine and some more driving!

Fun facts about colleges:

Muhlenberg: All of the doors are painted red to signify hospitality.

Lehigh: The Campus is in the side of a mountain.

Hartwick: There is an awesome commune nearby that owns a delicious deli and all students have the option to live in cabins in the middle of the woods.

Haverford: Has the honor code so you can take your exams whenever and wherever you like.

Franklin and Marshall: Gave us free backpacks, folders and pens.

Ursinus: Has a cool sculpture park and bad tourguides.

Swarthmore: First semester for freshman is pass or fail.

Hamilton: Seeing it tomorrow!
Here's some more pics! The yellow deli was the cute little place that the cult (the one that I'm joining) owned. Make sure you see the picture of the adorable old couple holding hands and crossing the street.
Here are some great pics. Me, finally getting a Philly cheesesteak and both of us grabbing smoothies and the like....yum. It was 106 degrees yesterday!!!

Oh, and we left Devon at a Cult... Where women have no rights....
So, where to begin......

When we visited Franklin and Marshall it was so freakin hot it was insane, Jack and I almost missed the tour and went sprinting frantically around campus until we caught up with the group of VERY interesting specimens. We walked around the cute town of Lancaster, almost got run over by a car, had some hysterical laughing break outs (mostly at Jacks antics) and we didn't see ANY Amish people of buggies which was very disappointing.

Then the next day I went to Muhlenberg and Jack went to Lehigh. We proceeded to drive up to Bucknell where we took the tour in 106 degree weather. As you can imagine, it was incredibly lovely! We then ate dinner at a nice tavern in town where Jack FINALLY got his dang Philly Cheese Steak Sub. We saw the cutest old couple, almost got run over again, saw some fiddle folk music in the park, talked to some really nice locals and went back to our hotel to watch the first episode of GAME OF THRONES which was actually amazing!

Today we visited Hartwick and tomorrow we hit Hamilton for both tours, meetings and interviews.

Haverford

The stairwell at Haverford. (which, by the way, was really pretty nice) and us on the tour just having a blast.
