I was finishing up my walk on Saturday by popping into Caviar & Bananas on George Street for their extra scrumptious duck confit sandwich when I heard such a roar of activity at the Cistern that I had to check it out.
I probably wasn't supposed to be there, but couldn't resist spying for a few minutes on the fraternity pledge announcements. Wow! Each fraternity group wore identifying shirts. Someone with a megaphone walked out with each candidate to announce what fraternity they now belonged to. There were shouts of excitement and as group rushed up to escort/carry their new member down the steps. Each group had loud celebratory sound effects and what I had heard were the engines of motorcycles roaring.
I believe the college year is now in session.
What a glorious day! Saturday it was gray and raining as I walked and this morning I opened my windows and doors to the fresh cool air. We must get outside and enjoy this unusual August gift.
