      Wow!

      March 15 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

      Aucun problème à la frontière, le douainier américain me rappelle que je devrai renouveller nos passeports rapidement. Je le sais, j’ai mon plan car j’en aurai à nouveau besoin le 19 avril pour une petite virée à New York City où je serai le guide d’un voyage scolaire.

      On arrive à l’hôtel et c’est parfait. Nous avons tout l’espace que nous avons besoin. Le bain tourbillon est disponible, mais nous décidons de rester dans le condo. L’hôtel est aussi le chalet du centre ski. Il y a un bar, un resto, une arcade et une boutique. Je pourrai me trouver de beaux collants demain.

      On joue au Rummy, on écoute The Waterboy à la télé et on se couche tôt. Demain on aura une belle journée de ski. Ah oui, j’oubliais, on mange une merveilleuse poutine maison.

      Nous vivons le cadeau de Noël pour la famille acheté sur Tuango. Le deal: le condo avec 4 billets de ski pour 500$. On ajoute le gaz et la bouffe, c’est un pas si pire deal que ça!

      Mtn. Biking!!!

      September 3, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

      We've been looking forward to this. We got there, got out bikes and went to find the trails we should take. After deciding to do the Pump Track to get a feel for the bikes, poor Dad fell off the bridge, we decided on our route and took off. After awhile we realized that the 'up the hills' were way more work than we had thought. I think most everyone just walked their bike up. The downs were fun, but not enough of them!!! Out of shape wimps we were! At one point Doug decided to have Dad take the easier route and we would meet up with him. I asked Doug is he was sure, he said, "If I'm this work out and out of breath, how do you think your dad feels, he's almost 20 years older than me!" I think Dad agreed to that sentiment so we split up, but eventually came back together. One word to describe those trails, 'confusion'! We jumped on and off so many trails, we got turned around. The signs helped some.Read more

      Mtn. Biking Dud

      September 3, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      Oh, it was fun. But, NOT at all what we were thinking it would be like. FAILURE for Audria!!! I should have checked into it further. I googled 'lift assisted downhill mountain biking' that's what we do in Telluride. There WAS a lift, it closed the weekend before... After 3hrs everyone but Talon was done for. We ate lunch at the bike rental place and Talon begged for just us to go on a short trail and do the Pump Track again. Shaking my bowed head, I chanted, "I love my son, I love my son, I love my son." It sorta worked, I protestingly went again, had fun and said, "Stick a fork in me, I'm done!" We turned our bikes in 2 hours early and went back to the condo. Supper, showers, coffee and games, can you see the exhaustion written on our faces? Rachel doesn't count...she slept in!

      BTW: Kudos to my youngest, that tough little guy was the last to start walking his bike up the hills. He may be slow going, but he didn't quit.
