Lunch could have been better. There were sandwiches. There were only two choices of sandwiches, turkey or vegetarian. It would’ve been better if the sandwiches were plain and we could add our own condiments. More variety of sandwiches would have also been a plus. There were only bottles of water available for a drink. It would’ve been nice if cookies and or chips and juice or water were available on the bus ride. Our tour guide was Ivy. She…”
