'La Florida', the slideshow.

Here is a slideshow of my adventures in St. Augustine this past weekend, where I may or may not have picked up this cold/flu whatever that has been attacking me all week....I digress.

St. Augustine was awesome, cold, but awesome.  I was fortunate enough to be selected to attend 'La Florida', a seminar through the Florida Humanities Council.  Had a weekend filled with scholarly lectures and discussion, tours of the city through a historical perspective- specifically as seen by an architect and archaeologist, just to name a few of the experts that the FHC brought in for the seminar.

I took a ton of notes on my tablet, that was my first time taking notes on it- much better than trying to read my scribbly handwriting (just ask my students and cheerleaders, they can confirm that!)  And I may comment more later on some 'take aways' from the weekend...but for now, here is the slide show.  

One thing I can say for sure, regardless of tie-ins to my own curriculum, or attempts to integrate art into other subject areas, which were both my original thoughts when I applied...Being in this seminar just reminded me of how much I love learning, and I love being around people that are passionate about what they do.  More on that later.
