Students' Reflections about Bassetts Field Trip

On October 31, 2003 we went to the original Bassetts Ice Cream in Reading Terminal in Philadelphia. We took the Speedline to 8th and Market and then walked to 12th street. We all had to wear sneakers and comfy clothes. When we went to Bassets for ice cream I ordered a specialty cone with rainbow sprinkles. Roger was the manager for the Bassets ice cream store. He was very nice. We saw a man playing the piano at the Reading Terminal. We took a picture with him and gave him a tip. . . . I liked the trip a lot. (Lori)

Our class went to the Reading Terminal in Philadelphia to sample the very first ice cream ever made in the USA! . . . I ordered strawberry ice cream in a cone. It was so good! We ate our lunch after that. The ice cream wasn't the only treat we had. We were very lucky to have a man play piano music for us while we ate. I also enjoyed the ride on the High Speed train from NJ to PA! (Tommy)

Some of the questions were how old is the place and what is the least favorite flavor. And some of the answers were 110 and champagne. (Kyle)
