After some free time in the afternoon, we gathered for a slide show, critique and recap happy hour of our trip. It’s always so much fun to see how every photographer and painter captures the scenery so differently, even sometimes when we are standing in the exact same spot and it’s a great way to revisit memories from our week. For dinner that night, we treated ourselves to a gourmet meal with incredible views of the lake from the restaurant’s terrace. A perfect ending to a wonderful trip!
