Storm, storm, storm! Can we all say storm? I thought the best photo I could hope for today was the breakfast table being set... still missing the cherry tomatoes, pickles, farmer's yogurt, tea pot, coffeee... but you get the idea. I think every breakfast in Austria centers around the bread basket which definately includes those rolls you see on top and sliced black bread, misc. breads underneath. Sometimes we have soft boiled eggs too, but basically it is cold cuts and cheese!
A-ha! But by afternoon we did have small patches of blue sky and I was able to take this photo of the mountain. Skiing in the morning was difficult at best - high winds tended to stop us all in our tracks! Visability was terrible (one of my classmates actually went out before class and went completely off the trail by accident!). We had to stay on a fairly easy trail simply because it is the one with a chairlift that has a bubble to protect against the weather (which, by day 5 of skiing was just FINE with my leg muscles!). But - ahhh, the snow was fresh, deep and powdery (and of course - just the perfect conditions for broken legs, as our teacher was sure to point out - so be careful, and careful we were!). And the reward for being dressed and on the slope came in the afternoon when the weather broke and there we were - skiing on fresh snow in the glorious mountains!!!!
In the meantime, Little Boy stayed home from ski school to play at the house (he also skipped yesterday afternoon because he declared he wanted a nap rather than go back after lunch!). But - in the afternoon DH brought him to the "awards" ceremony and all the kids got ski medals and photos that the ski school had taken earlier in the week. He is soooo proud of his "first" ski medal! LOL. Our son was sound asleep by 4 pm so my DH and I went to the beer tent to meet my ski mates for a drink at the end of the week (Omi was left in charge of the sleeping babe), but alas, we must be getting old, because finally we have someone to watch our son and we left within 1/2 of an hour as it was soooo crowded and noisy!
