Delaware River

Attempt 1:

Step 1: I tried to follow the article "Decades later, still standing against abuse"

Step 2: The article listed their website, www.womenagainstabuse.org. They have a lot of events, and there's actually a "Men-can" rally on the 5th, but it wasn't something I really wanted to do.

Step 3: I kept trying to wander around, but eventually decided to take on a different article.

Attempt 2:

Step 1: Read the article titled "'Gliders' allow look into Ocean's depths," which is posted here: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/science/20131001_Sweeping_project_allows_look_at_depths_of_ocean.html

Step 2: The article mentioned a website, http://www.ioos.noaa.gov, which redirected to an error message about the government shutdown.

Step 3: The other website mentioned in the Inquirer article is http://maracoos.org/blogs/main/ which has really cool pictures of the kinds of information that the gliders are collecting.

Step 4: Trying to connect this cool coastal article to something I could do in Philly, I googled "Philadelphia Delaware River area"

Step 5: Went to http://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/ and clicked on the events. I found out that there are a lot of concerts, as well as yoga on thursdays, and a whole bunch of museums and activities.

Step 6: I ended up at the river trail and I think my plan would be to walk along the trail and to see how the river interacts with the city. I wonder if it's just tourists, or if there river has a strong impact on the citizens.
