I was a student at F&M in the early 90s and would walk to the Amtrak station (there was a big pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks- not sure if it is still there) and take the train into NY to visit my boyfriend at the time. Fond memories! We also walked to downtown occasionally to have a “fancy dinner” before I had my super cheap car on campus my junior year. It is a longish walk, but we did it even in the winter time.
S’27 is currently in heat of competition for his sport right now, with another month or so left in the season. We are squeezing in two more college visits over fall break (over a long weekend before he has to be back to practice with the team). He might do a few local visits (driving himself) the week after as he has a second week of break. He hasn’t done any reviewing for the PSAT, so hoping I can convince him that would be a good task for this weekend….
S’27 driving has been such a HUGE thing for me (lots more flexibility in my work schedule in the late afternoon and early evening and freedom to get stuff done on the weekend), but I kind of miss the talks in the car. I feel like that was one time we always had great conversations– it can be harder to get more than the typical one word teenager answers out of him now!
