Day 16 - Fire and Ice

Started the day with breakfast at the McDonalds with the biggest steer in all of Texas...and that ain't no bull! Included a few pics of the area around the hotel (the hotel itself) and the state capitol building.

Our first speaker was a movie stunt coordinator who did some cute things with fire and pulleys but I will be honest...I expected a lot more in the way of flash bang presentations. It was OK, but I have seen better, more pizzazy (Is that a word?) programs in science museums. Attended the social (without real food) and had nice conversations with teachers from Alaska (Anchorage, Cheryl), Arizona, Massachusetts, Austin, and Oklahoma. Met John Feiler's (my old Progress Village buddy) siste this evening and am ready to pack it in for the night.

To be honest, this stuff all seems way over my head, but I am grateful for a week in Texas and a chance to talk education.
