Not entirely shure, if I spend my last day in a foreign country, I head towards north. A stopover at Novi Ligure provides me finally the opportunity to send a notification to all family and friends about my remaining itinerary before return back home. The date has been fixed to the 29.
The ride up to Vercelly in the low lands was not that exciting like the sighting of the mountain of Mont Blanc in the far. Since my ...

... out from lack of oxygen I was able to gather myself and enjoy some really amazing views along with a packed lunch. After the mountain trek we went into the small ski town and enjoyed some of our "favorite brewage and enjoyed the surroundings" (per request of prof. Delmar).

Heading to Rome and Barcelona next week, another post should follow shortly after.

We're approaching the final week of this "bi-mester." The work load is getting steadily heavier and I combat it by ...

... places that were dead I decided to
head to the Sports Bistro and have a beer and see how my appetite
was. The bar was like the local Cheers bar as many groups of friends
were hanging out. One thing I have noticed in Chamonix, there are
many dogs, and perhaps more Golden Retrievers than I have seen in one
location in Europe. It is also not unusual to see the dogs with
their owners in bars and restaurants and the Sports Bistro was no
exception. When I entered ...

... road for two cars and few guard rails. I made it back to
Chamonix and headed to town for a beer and found the “Sports
Bistro” for a couple of beers. A guy sat down next to me and we
started chatting, he was a local and gave me some of the local lore.
Language was not an issue as most French speak some English. He told
me a movie crew was in town staying at the Hotel des Alpes and it was
rumored that it was a Clint Eastwood flick, maybe I will run ...

... poorly marked. Half the streets in Europe are so narrow anyways; they all look like one ways. So this car pulls up behind up and blocks us in, sweet, it’s the cops. They tell us we went up a one way.... So we honestly tell them it was a mistake and we're trying to turn around. Then they ask us where we are coming from and how much have we had to drink? Here we go... We had 1 big bottle of beer each 2 hours ago, then split ...

... re sharing with an instructor friend. Our first week here was the ski school's Formation Week, a training week for all ski instructors. Then this week, our second week, I've been teaching Kids Academy. I've included a few pictures of skiing, our chalet and our walk to work!!

We passed our BASI 1!! Unfortunately two of our course members did not pass their BASI 1 but will start training with us all and re-take the assessment in a few weeks. The BASI 1 was a five day training and assessment course and is the entry level qualification for Instructing. To pass it we needd to have an awareness ...

Täällä ollaan taas rauhallisessa La Gravessa. Mahtava reissu oli Verbieriin mutta kovin se oli rankkaa.. siellä elämä on kyllä niin sosiaalista, kun ihmisiä on pilvin pimein, suomalaisia ja tuttuja vaikka kuinka paljon, aktiiveja muille jakaa ja rahan tuhlaus mahdollisuudet loputtomat. Torstaina pakkasimme auton ja lähdimme lomalta lomalle! Seitsemisen tuntia taukoineen ajelimme kohti Sveitsiä ja iltasella pääsimme aina niin rakkaaseen ...
