Mid Trip Update

Previous Locations: Budapest, Hungary and Salzburg, Austria

Current Location: Zell Am See, Austria (a ski resort)

What I learned today:
- Mountains should be beheld for their beauty and not skied.
- Skiing (or Sky-ing as Chef pronounces it) is not my forte.
- I am not a fan of snowboarders or other skiers in fact.
- Ski Boots are unduly tight.
- European "easy" ski slopes are without a doubt equivalent to double blacks in the States (ok - at least double blue/basically black diamonds).  This difference without a doubt has something to do with that pesky metric system.
- Bunny slopes are my strong point.  I dominate those.
- Dominating bunny slopes gives you a false sense of skiing ability.
- The phrase death trap popped into my head more times today than it should in a lifetime.
- Deep yoga breaths, a few prayers, and an extremely patient husband can get you through ANYTHING.
