Water ice. Philly cheese steaks. Burroughs. Townships. Turnpike.

There are just a few of the new terms I have picked up in the past two days I've been here in Philly talking to a mission organization about a job. The diversity within the States endlessly fascinates me. I think Iowa will always be the culture I fit best into with its friendly ways and moderate paced life style. However, there were parts of South Carolina culture that were also nice - the hospitality for one. (Granted, I could go without the driving skills and cockroaches!) PA has another culture entirely...so the question has arrived - is this something I could get used to and eventually enjoy.

We'll see...within the next week, my life may be taking on yet another adventure.

As for now, I'm going to go to downtown Philly tonight and enjoy a Philly Cheese Steak (and I have been taught the "correct" way to order one)...and then tomorrow I'm heading back home where my decision will be made. :)
