The workshop I am leading this week is in a school about 60 miles from the marina, so the organizers have rented a car for me to use. John and I stopped at a grocery store on our way back to the marina and also had lunch.
There’s a lot of traffic in this area. I knew there was but I think I had blocked it.
This workshop had the potential to be really messy – our hotel rooms and workshop rooms were not set up when we arrived (never a good sign) and most participants had not logged in to the learning management system prior to the workshop.
Fortunately, everything came together when participants arrived. They were really engaged in the work. I appreciate these teachers who drove through lots of traffic over the summer to collaborate with their peers from the surrounding districts. Their students are really lucky to have them.
The workshop leaders for this event were definitely international. My dinner companions included folks from Canada, Argentina, and Jordan.
Tomorrow’s drive will be through lots of rush hour traffic, but I know I will enjoy the time. Instead of sitting in an airport I will get an opportunity to unwind and relax (in traffic, of course, but there’s no hurry).

They were lucky to have you!
