Foxdale trip

1. How did this trip compare to the expectations you had before we went?
2. What did you enjoy?  What was challenging?
3.  What advice do you have for future IECP students taking a trip similar to this one?

On Monday, April 7, we (Reading 4B class) had a chance to visit Foxdale village in State College, which is a really fantastic field trip. I had not thought it was so decent a community for the old citizens with a full range of facilities and welcoming residents. 

I was fortunate to interview a friendly gentleman of 90 years old who is still very healthy, wise and energetic. We talked about his life experiences from education to work, from family to travel, and then about life at Foxdale. I was most amazed that he and his wife had been married for 68 years and they were now both living at Foxdale. He also said he enjoyed each period of life, which sets a good model for the young generation.

In terms of advice for future students, I do not have any. Just go prepared, you will learn a lot from this trip.
