Dag 2
Marion Park
23 april 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
As we walked around we found this park and figured it would be a good place to take a break and possible look for some homeless people. Upon entering the park we noticed across the park there was ten or so police cars parked along the street, Jess said maybe a drug bust was going on nearby. Once we sat down on the benches Liz noticed a woman walking two dogs, so she went over and asked to pet the dogs. Liz told the lady what we were doing and she suggested that we check out the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 11th or 8th street because a lot of homeless gathered there. As we got up to leave the park the lady told us that on second thought we should just go to Pennsylvania Ave because the area she first told us was were the drug addicts hung out.Meer informatie

As we walked back out towards Pennsyvania Ave. We approached a small traffic circle type park. We noticed a few homeless people siting through out the park. We stopped about a half a block away to make a plan of action. We decided to split up our group of six in half and approach two different people, to pervent from scaring them. JB, Erica, and Jess walked into the traffic circle, meanwhile Josh, Jeremy, and Liz walked to two people sitting on a small wall. I went first and introduced myself saying hello. We found out the mans name was Tyrone. Liz took over from their asking him some questions about his life and how he survives. The other 3 people in our groups came over to us they told us the people over where they went were sleeping. As we wrapped up talking with Tyrone we asked him if their was a Seven Eleven nearby and he pointed it out to us.Meer informatie

Dag 2
Seven Eleven
23 april 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
We walked down the street and talked and decided that we would get lunch and if Tyrone was still their after we got the food, we would give him lunch. We walked into the Seven Eleven and saw that a large pizza was only $5.50. We ordered two and the one lady behind the counter said the total was $12.20, we were confused why it was not $11, she explained that the $5.50 was without tax. We then began to talk as group we had two options 1) To spend a dollar over our budget or 2) Stick to our Budget. As we explained to the lady that we were not suppose to spend more than $12. The other lady behind the counter overheard so she went to work and figured out that for exactly $11.99 we could get one large pizza, 10 chicken nuggets, and 10 potato cakes. So we waited as the prepared the food, the older lady behind the counter realized they were out of large pizza boxes, so she ran to another seven eleven to get some. But she did not return before the pizza was done so the other lady put two slices in each individual pizza slice boxes. We then left to head back to where we meet Tyrone.Meer informatie

We returned to where Tyrone was sitting, he was still there so we gave him a slice of pizza and offered him a slice. We then also offered him a slice. We also offered the lady who was sitting next to him some food but she inital said no, but once she saw we had plenty food she took some. As we talked with Tyrone, we learned that he used to be a janitor but had been layed off. Soon ones of Tyrones friends named Thomas came over, we still had food so we offered him some as well. Liz tried to share Jesus with Thomas but he seemed to be somewhat mentally handicapped because he believed he was able to teleport.Meer informatie

Eastern Market
23 april 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
After completing the challenge of the Urban Plunge we meet up with Calvin and Gregs group. Jess showed Greg the picture of the homeless person we fed and it turns out they fed the exact same person a half sub.A few of them decided to go get coffee at a coffee shop. Meanwhile Liz looked around the Market and the rest of us just relaxed at a picnic table. Once everyone returned we realized we had two hours before we could return to the church so we began wondering how far we were from the capital building. We checked it was about 1.5 miles away, so Greg called Grant to get his opinion and see if their group would want to go to (The Capital was outside of the boundaries set by our city hosts.) Grant approved so we then met up with their group.Meer informatie

We walked to the Capital from Eastern Market. We got there and sat on the stairs outfront of the Capital looking out over the mall. Josh gave a tour briefly from the steps to Calvin, Grant, Emily, and Kalah. Calvin wanted to know what block you had to push to open a trap door. After sitting on this steps in the bright sun we decided to begin walking back.Meer informatie

Bens Chilli Bowl
23 april 2016, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
For dinner we went to this famous Washington DC eatery. It is in a busy part of town so we had trouble finding a parking spot. After cirling for five minutes we found a spot but it had a No Parking Sign, so we drove past but then realized it was only during the weekdays. So calvin backed the van down the street and parked. We were with the New York Guest Host so she did not know what to do when we got to the resteraunt so we just went in. They thought they found are reservation because they had one for 21 people (which was the size of group) but upon checking they said that was for a group called CSE, but thinking the just made a spelling error they sat us. But upon checking with the manager they realized they had missed our reservation. They said since we were already seated we could stay. The other group arrived about ten minutes later and ordered our food. We got sides of chilli fries and then could order a hotdog, hamburger, or half smoke, and then choose our toppings, most of us got chilli. We were going to go to the souvenir shop next door, but ran out of time.Meer informatie
