Park Hotel Grenoble

... When we boarded, an announcement came over the intercom instructing us to just sit wherever we could find a seat. Interesting concept, I can see now how the budget carriers are actually making money with cost cutting at every level and capitalising on human error such as my brain **** and not checking in prior to arrival. Vigilance must improve otherwise I should start booking first class fares after the extras get ticked up. The flight was made slightly pleasant due to my ...

Today is the first day of my spring break...whoo hoo! I will be jetting off to Germany tomorrow morning to attend the 22nd Annual Satanic Stomp, a two day psychobilly festival in Speyer, Germany. I will be meeting up with two Salt Lake girls, Kristina and Mary. Where to after that? Who knows! I am ...

... Belgen passeren langs hier om te gaan skieen/snowboarden in de Alpen etc...Het was er dus zeer druk! Op de koop toe was het ook nog kermis in Grenoble waar zeer veel volk was..en dan nog de belangrijke match Grenoble-Lorient (ze stonden beiden op 35 punten en de winnaar was zo goed als zeker van het behoud want vanaf een paar ploegen achter hen, zakken ze af naar de tweede klasse..en die ploeg staat op 29 punten). Om Grenoble dus binnen te geraken, hebben we een half uur staan ...

Today, I have been on this planet 22 years. I cannot believe that this past year has flown by so fast. This is particularly strange after having Megan here last week. We met three weeks into freshman year, so we have been friends almost my whole college career. It was so bizarre to find ourselves discussing our upcoming graduation and our post-degree plans. In two months I will no longer be an undergraduate but the holder of Bachelor's of Arts....WTF.

... opportunity of getting back on those skinny skis 20 years after I had done so for the last time! All four of them skied with different skis than I did, and while they skied like one can see during the cross country skiing events at the Olympics (what I call the "duck skiing technique"), I skied parallel the entire time since I do not know the other more proper technique. Skiing parallel is much slower and it is ...

Zo, ons feestje in Grénoble zit er op...en wat voor een feestje! Eerst kwamen we allen samen in Le Pouzin, de plaats waar het Toyotadistributiecentrum staat, en namen we de bus richting Grénoble. We waren met een groep van 45 personen. Opvallend was dat iedereen iedereen een hand gaf of 3 kussen voor de vrouwen. Het was ook meteen onze eerste kennismaking met de mensen waar we de komende 3 maanden mee zullen samenwerken. 'Ah les belges!! Ils mangent beaucoup h ...

... to go do the short hike up the Bastille in Grenoble. Dianne, Kat, and I did not share their excitement so we decided to do an urban crawl instead. We took the tram (lightrail) to the University and then took it back into town. After walking around some we decided we needed a snack and found a crepe stand in the middle of a square. I had a Nutella Crepe, which was amazing. We headed back to the hotel for a quick nap. Later our whole group met up ...

... musicales le mercredi et le samedi (au 102, le 102 c'est cool), une réu' pour aider une amie qui vient d'entrer en HP, l'ouverture officiel d'un squat ( le notre ! hourra !). Déjà, je trouvais ça assez cool, je veux dire comme outils, ces affiches. Je me suis dit que c'était comme toutes ces petites discussions où on cherche sans en trouver une yaourtière ou de la peinture, mais que là on avait un forum plus large, et aussi que c'était très bien de mélanger en un même endroit ...

... i ulicica, mozda i zauvijek ostanemo tu. Alice Anne i Sebastien su divni, trude se pokazati nam sto vise, o hrani da ne govorim. i s nama je jos i njihov prijatelj Camille tako da je bas veselo i lijepo. the more the merrier :) i imali smo par super fotoshootinga; fotke kad stignemo. pusa svima, idemo sad dalje uzivati. maja

... but not that steep...My rough calculations show that its a little less than a third of what we will be doing on June 25th in altitude. I was a little apprehensive because since my slight injury I haven't pushed myself very hard and this was meant to be a big push. And to spice things up a bit I ran with my friend Damien who is also intending to do the half-marathon but hasn't been doing much training... My new training scheme (Thank you BUPA) is very good and tells me that I ...
