NICE Meeting

I led off the meeting with a brief movie of our active, outdoor Exploritas program, Florida's Fragile Coastal Treasure: Snorkel the Coral Reefs




I was followed by Joe who showed photos and described their experiences on Art History in Belgium and Holland...


Next Les showed photos and talked of their program in Albuquerque New Mexico’s Conversos and Crypto-Jews detailing the Jews who fled to New Spain in the New World and secretly practiced their religion after being driven out of Spain in 1492...



The meeting ended with Bob's movie showing his adventures in Arizona Hiking the Slick Rock, Slot Canyons and Red Rocks of Lake Powell, as well as his beautiful photos of his independent guided hike of Upper Antelope Canyon's magnificent slot canyon...




As usual, the group then adjourned to nearby Hillside Family Restaurant for lunch and more conversation...

Our next meeting will be Saturday, August 14th at 10am. If you have an Exploritas program you'd like to share with the group, call Pete at 847-549-1659.
