Instructor: Gretchen Strauch of Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door
While international travel provides an education unlike that learned in a university, it also enhances and invigorates any field of study. Europe is many Americans' first international destination, but in the current financial environment, many young people may find themselves pessimistic about their ability to afford travel in Europe. This slideshow/lecture will be specially tailored to a student audience of predominantly first-time travelers, providing basic tips that will encourage participants to travel independently, cleverly, and frugally in this potentially pricey - yet ever more intriguing - part of the world.
Topics will include:
Take-home handouts with the lecture's main points will be available to participants.

This class will cover the "how-to" basics of snowshoeing. Examples of equipment and gear will be shown, as well as how to select and use the equipment. This is a great recreational activity during the dreary winter months, and there are several local destinations to go snowshoeing. Snowshoes can be rented from most outdoor shops quite reasonably, there is no high-priced lift ticket to buy - and it is a very quick learning process: if you can walk, you can snowshoe!
