Sledding

SUNDAY


I was worried that we would spend a lot of time entertaining ourselves today... but the time sure flew by. We woke up at about 9 and cooked bagels and hot tea for breakfast, then we decided to explore the village. It was absolutely silent. Apparently everyone was sleeping in after attending a wedding last night.


We had a few visitors today. First, the tech teacher showed up and talked to us for a good hour or so. We mentioned that we wanted to go sledding so he went out on a mission to find us a sled. Later, he returned with sled in hand and volunteered to haul us up and down the hill. Rachael has pretty intense steering skills, but I on the other hand spent more time on my face than upright in the sled. It was pretty exciting and Jamie took us snow machining around the area in between runs. I think this is the most exercise I've had since August. I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow.


After we got back, we cooked dinner (chicken and rice) and settled in to do some blog action. One of the other teachers popped in and talked to us for a good while. It's been really eye opening to hear the experiences of the teachers in the area.
