This was followed by a vist to Wachovia Securities meeting a committee member of the FriendsFiduciary Corporation that overseas the portfolio managers with a socially responsible investment mandate.

Sophie & Louise met a gentleman from Stratus Communications and Danial met with the General Manager of Cherry Hill Lexus .

Evan met with Kay Stuckey an Rotarian Horticulturalist and was taken on a grand tour of the estately homes and gardens tour of Moorestown and some gardens suppliers.

Tour of Philly and that's Gold!!!!!!

Well yesterday we had a great tour of Philadelphia. We enjoyed a trolley tour of the area, seeing lots of great historical things. We tried to patch up the crack in the Liberty Bell but no success.

We also came to see a live broadcast of the NBC 10! show at 2pm in the NBC10 studios, where Evan gave the show an intro "Gday USA" from the Rotary GSE Team from Australia. Please check out the link http://www.nbc10.com/slideshow/15693316/detail.htmlindex.html?currentSlide=11&taf=phi

President George sets Moorestown alight

Wednesday night was spent enjoying a cookout with family & friends of Rotary Club of Moorestown at the home of Pam & Tom Parkinson in Mt Laurel. After a sumptuous dinner we enjoyed a glass of wine around the bonfire ..... fortunately, we did not need to call the Mt Laurel Fire Brigade. Louise Duff made a new friend when she told Greg Collier, the local fire chief who inspected and approved the bonfire that her brother in Sydney was a Firefighter .... Greg immediately offered to provide a Fireman's shirt to take home and swap. President George was last seen enjoying a cold beer in front of our wonderful bonfire.

Yo Adrian!!!!!! We Did It!!

Today, Ladies and Gentlemen we have had the privilege of witnessing the greatest exhibition of guts and stamina in the history of the running of the steps!. Evan, Michael, Daniel and Matt ran and followed Rocky Balboa up the famous steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (You can watch the video.

Sydney to LA- Trip 14hrs, it was great. Louise and Evan had plenty of leg room but no sleep at all!!!

LA to Newark 6hrs not so good.We had an emergency stop at Denver, Colorado due to a sick passenger. The team was tight and tired but it we were ok in the end.

We have just had dinner with the Moorestown Rotary members and a few of our home hosts, (They are super nice fantastic people.) We also met the outgoing GSE music team to Sydney. Dan and Matt have given some good Aussie advice about schooners of VB (we have assured the team that the phrase "hittin the piss" is not a rude phrase in Australia.
