One of the main highlights of today was our lunch at Circle E. Steven and Evan put several minutes of research into finding a place to eat our lunch. Steven discovered a unique review about a small diner in Hancock, NY.
"I dont give out 5 stars too frequently, heck none of us should. Cuz lets be honest, if everyone is a 5 star.....then NO ONE is a 5 star! I am sure my social-scientist liberal friends would have an opinion or two about that but we'll save those rants cocktail parties, shall we?
The reason I am giving 5 stars to Circle E is for the coveted "X-Factor"! Now for those who dont know what I am talking about, the X-Factor is that special pinch of magic, that wonderful variable that kicks the whole equation over the top. Its the intangible element so crucial to a human experience whose impact ultimately results in a mass far greater than the sum of its parts."
After a review like that, how could we pass up a chance to experience the Circle E? We were not disappointed!
We were graciously welcomed by our three new friends--Megan, Miguel and Perdita. Megan and Perdita are AmeriCorps Vistas that specifically work with the local Habitat for Humanities affiliate. We are staying with them in a habitat house and they will be our guides for the week.
Tomorrow we shall tour some of the habitat houses and other non-profit facilities in Bridgeport. Tonia is excited about meeting the director of the local food pantry which provides food for 5,000 people each night.
Bryon is looking forward to having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day this week.
We are looking forward to what this next week holds. Keep tuning in!
