Greetings from the Alps! Thu, Mar 16. 2006

Alia found a public Internet terminal... which I'm paying 9 Euro per half hour to use, but I do it all for you :-) Even suffering thru the crazy AZERTY keyboard. What's awesome tho - this is a Linux terminal running KDE.

Me, gasping for air somewhere near 3000 meters
Anyway, I'm having a blast out here, skiied every day since Sunday except today. Stupid that. I ran over a rock 'off-pisting' yesterday and scored one of my skis right along the blade, so I took it in for repair/wax/sharpening. Decided I was going to just do a little skiing today so I can go at it really hard for my last day tomorrow. Unfortunatly, the ski shop closes from 1230 to 1630. So no skiing for me today, because I went out at 1300.

Weather has been extremely sunny and near zero since Monday. I have sunburnt my nose :-(
Sunday was frigid and snowy.

Saturday we leave very early to beat the crowds down the mountain. Long drive back to Amsterdam too.

Anyway, I should be back online Saturday night/Sunday. Till then, you'll have to content yourselves with these images I uploaded from my keydrive. (The Fuji is practically dead... Over-exposes everything, and it only intermittantly charges. These were take by others.)

I'm so very jealous... I made it to Killington last weekend, which was nice, but it sure ain't the Alps.

Great pictures of you and your sister! Nice clear blue sky. Snow sure looks better than the ice we ski on in the Gatineau's here around Ottawa....
