Lake Tahoe!

Mike just completed a 10 day seminar on the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease at Lake Tahoe, CA. This picture above is from a hike near Lake Tahoe



The kids wanted to see a picture from an airplane.


The conference consisted of 24 "fellows" and many faculty from around the country. Mike was gone for 2 weeks - though we both thought it felt like a month. He doesn't ever want to be gone that long again but it was an excellent educational experience and Mike got to meet many of the leaders in cardiovascular prevention.

One evening, the group had a evening dinner at the resort owners' home on Lake Tahoe.




The "Five Lakes Trial" is near Lake Tahoe and is a mountain hike which ends with a group of small lakes at the top.
