I’m not the type that pays much attention to the venue of a conference. I’m not usually interested in exploring the towns that host these events. I am interested in making connections with colleagues, in learning, and in reflecting on what I have learned and on how I can apply what I’ve learned to my work back on campus.
But Snowmass is beautiful. The flight into Aspen was breathtaking. I haven’t seen mountains and valleys like this since Jean and I visited Salzburg in 1989. Even after I had landed, I found myself staring at the mountains that surround everything. There are few places I find myself wanting to revisit, but I would really like to come here again someday to explore.
My first morning here I took a walk on some bike trails on the mountain, and came across flowers in each of my girl’s favorite colors.
More on the seminars in my next posts.
