High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

An Education in Washington

Anrahyah and Charlie still have their middle school students in Washington, DC. What an amazing trip this is! I know what planning went into it, down to using Google Earth to figure out walking routes from one place to another. Air transportation, subway travel, ground travel, a boat to Mt. Vernon, and a temporary home in Largo, Maryland.

Education doesn't get any better than this! The students have homework packets that included a scavenger hunt for things in the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian! Some of the homework got done on the White House lawn.

A blog of this trip, with postings from both teachers and students, and many photos, is at http://crestonecharter.blogspot.com
