OASES Fall Retreat

14 Nov

Sorry for the lack of updates recently!  I finished my last big block of midterms last week and I haven’t done any productive work since then.  I’m so ready for winter break…

I left my Nikon back in SoCal so I haven’t been taking any pictures lately.  I’ve been relying on my Canon point and shoot and it is just not the same…  I will never make the mistake of parting with my camera again!!

Here are some pictures taken in August during our OASES fall retreat at the Marin Headlands.

This retreat was pretty amazing.  The place we stayed at was gorgeous.  The air smelled so clean and fresh and the hostel was right next to the beach.  We were pretty isolated from the rest of the world during our stay there.  We had no access to computers or the internet and it was extremely hard to get cell phone reception.  Not having to depend on all these electronics was actually a really nice change.  It allowed maximum bonding time with me and the other coords :)  The food was provided by the hostel and they only use locally grown food.  I’ve never tasted heirloom tomatoes as good as the ones I had at the Marin Headlands.  All the food was really delicious and I loved how they advocated the no waste policy:  Only take as much as you can eat so no food gets thrown away.

We looked up the time of the sunset to make sure we didn’t miss it.  Watching the sunset at the beach was one of my lifetime goals… goal accomplished!

Hopefully spring retreat with the new coordinators will be just as amazing!!
