Started the 2-week long American Meteorological Society, Project Atmosphere workshop with about 17 other teachers from around the country with a nice dinner and a brief round of introductions. I honestly do not believe I have encountered a livelier group of workshop participants since the first Planting Science trip a couple of years ago. There is one woman from Dallas, and a gentleman named Bryan who will give me run for my money as being the outrageous attendee of the moment. It should be a fun couple of weeks....and I hope I get to see some new and old friends while I am in town.
Some observations...flying in and landing at the International airport I notice no real city here...just a lot of open land and a few clumps of newer developments. We are, of course, northwest of the downtown area, but it really much more rural than I would have anticipated.
Secondly....I really miss having a car....being here in the room and "stuck" (to put it mildly, is way boring. I want to be free, spread my wings, explore, examine....shop!!!!
That's what I live for!!!! Pictures are of the very nice suite of rooms and my view of the pool area.
Molly...you take good care of Mary Anne!
