One of the perks—and challenges—of my job is traveling to teach. I love visiting beautiful places even if most of the time I am in class. What I don’t love is the actual “travel” part of traveling. Frankly, I’m lucky to have such an issue to enjoy—and complain about!
One of the more unique locations I’ve taught at is Alegre Retreat in Gateway Canyons, Colorado. The landscape is epic and the resort-style amenities leave you feeling pampered. My first visit was in 2018. I recently returned and this Saturday in your weekly post, I’ll introduce my 2024 experience in part one of two parts.
So get a feel for Alegre in this Throwback Thursday, then meet a whole new class of students on Saturday. You also get to see how we celebrated the 2024 solar eclipse!
