My new strategy to look good while skiing this winter (besides my new Spyder ski suit) was to do it the real Illinois way--cross-country style. After all, I grew up cross country skiing on an Illinois country club golf course. If anyone should be the master of the flat lands, it should be me.
But yesterday, as a retiree passed me for the third time on a 10k loop while cross-country skiing in Einsiedeln, l realized I was doomed to ever pass anything Swiss on skis. Even the woman at the ski shop called me a "beginner"--before she even had seen me in action.
So I comforted myself by taking picture breaks and enjoying the views.
Besides, there's more to do in Einsiedeln besides ski. There's a huge monastery located there and by huge I mean by European standards, not Swiss ones. More on that tomorrow.

That's hilarious. I remember how cold everyone was! What a way to celebrate, ha ha. Only something I could come up with :)
Thanks for the b-day wishes.
When your birthday's in January you have to be creative! Love birthdays that involve skiing, swimming or the hot tub.
Hot tub is a good idea! Hmm. No time for the Baden spa today, but maybe this week!
There are a huge number of different property holders who are experiencing a similar scrape. My companion invested months attempting to offer her home. She was starting to lose trust that she'll ever have the capacity to achieve this-until she caught wind of rent buy. check cashing
