Wednesday February 6th
My birthday! I was lucky enough to spend it with a great
Austrian friend and my whole host family. I woke up and we had another great breakfast
(even some leftover apple crumble) and Thomas left before noon for a date. I,
of course, went skiing in celebration and it was one of the best days of skiing
I’ve had here. I was getting constant face shots and decided to explore some
parts of Bödele no one else would. I took Bruno with me down a rather steep
slope (for Bödele) and we got some serious powder. He ended up falling a couple
times but it was an adventure he said. For lunch we skied over to a restaurant
owned by a friend on the other side of the mountain. He had a huge flat screen
TV playing the World Cup race in Schladming and I had some bratwurst and potato
salad. Martina and I left a half hour early and took the bus back to the lift
in order for me to Skype with my parents. It was, of course, nice to talk to
them and to see my dog. Afterwards I finished Hot Rod and had Roast Beef for
dinner. I asked them to measure me (a family tradition) and turns out I am
191.5cm tall. Almost 2 meters. We played another round of Activity and some
more Jassen before they came out with a delicious chocolate cake with raspberry
whipped cream. After that treat I went to bed. It was overall a really fun
birthday.
