Ski Day #2

My body clock must still be on Eastern time, because I was up at 5am again today.  The weather was forecast to be a little warmer & sunny today, so I was looking forward to hitting the slopes again!  Just to be sure I wouldn’t be as cold, I wore an extra sweater and put hand warmers in my mittens and toe warmers in my boots.  This was the first time I had used them and they worked GREAT!  I didn’t feel a bit cold all day.

Roman’s knee injury must have been worse than he thought, because we had a different instructor today (name???).  He was a much better fit for us.  He gave good advice & tips, but we kept moving much faster and didn’t waste any time standing around.  The time flew by and, before we knew it, the lesson was almost over.  We bumped into the Quiggle’s on our last run and told them we’d meet up with them after lunch.

We said goodbye to (name???) and took a lunch break at Seven’s restaurant.  The food was good, but the service was a bit slow and, worst of all, we had to walk down two flights of stairs & a hallway to get to the restrooms –what a stupid design!  I would never go back there again for that reason.  Who wants to CLOMP-CLOMP all over the place in those big, heavy, uncomfortable ski boots?!?

After lunch, we met up with the Quiggle’s for a few more runs.  However, after two days of skiing, my legs were spent and I felt myself getting tired & sloppy with my skiing.  We were skiing on peak 7, so I suggested we start working our way back to peak 9 (the villiage), while enjoying a few runs on the way there.  After getting back to the Villiage, we changed our boots and then walked across the street to return our ski rentals.  We then caught the bus back to the house.  Michele & I managed to ski & have fun for 2 days without falling once –not bad!  J

We went out for an early dinner again with the Quiggle’s.  This time, we went to a casual Mexican restaurant that had received good reviews on Trip Advisor, (name???).  The place was VERY casual –in fact, it was kind of a dive.  We sat at picnic benches, which I found a bit annoying for the lack of back support, but the burritos were delicious and the service snappy.

Dan told us over dinner that he had been really sick the previous night and hadn’t slept well.  Although he felt fine during the day, he started feeling poorly again while we ate.  By the end of the meal, he was visibly shaking and anxious to get home.  We dropped him off at the house to rest, then went out to the grocery store for a few more supplies.  After we returned, we chatted with our friends for a little while and then turned in around 8:30pm.
