We used to think that Bowling Green was in Kentucky. It is. We’ve just learned that it is also in Ohio! (A bit confusing actually.)
We’ve just met Whit Watt (I promise you, that’s his name!) He’s a pedagogue who lives in Bowling Green, Ohio and teaches Geography at Indiana University – in Pennsylvania!
Confused? Never mind. Just take our word for it.
Whit arrived at our hostel with colleague Kevin Patrick for the second time in four years. They have brought another group of a dozen undergrads to Toronto as part of an examinaton of the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes Eco-system.
I have absolutely NO DOUBT that the students enjoyed our city! The young adults (aged 19 to 20) are of legal age-of-majority here in Canada!
They took advantage of Toronto’s nightlife and visited the pubs and bars which are plentiful within mere steps of the hostel’s doors!
Some of our staff members sat up chatting with Whit until the wee hours of the morning while he waited – a little stressed, to say the least – for his charges to return from the bacchanals occasioined by their newly attained legal status.
They have left for Niagara Falls this A.M. on their way home. We hope Whit and Kevin bring another group of students next year!
