Pulled in to Grace Church in Jersey City this morning. It was a little tight, but with Donald’s help, we guided the bus into the alley parking lot. There is a lot of work to do, but it is going to be fun and the end result I believe will be stunning!
Anyone who is interested in lending a hand with this, there are lots of things that can be done, from finding good chemistry and biology pictures to put on the bus, to enlarging and stenciling the images onto the bus, to scraping away at the crusty, old paint job.
I am starting to really like Jersey City – it is like a smaller-town version of NYC! I am looking forward to the week or so I’ll be here, and am going to start contacting schools in the area to see if they might be interested in bringing the BioBus in. There is also the Liberty Science Center, which is a beautiful building right on the waterfront – they have a great big wind-turbine setup, and it was spinning away this fine, breezy morning.
The first day of the community supported agriculture (CSA) was really fun! It was my day to volunteer, and I spent the time weighing out 1.75 lbs of tomatoes for everyone in the share (there are about 80 shares in our group, which means a little less than 80 people since some people get double shares). Today we got greens, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, and a watermelon.
