March Mayhem

March was a month with little photos to testify to all the fun I had! I spent a weekend in Chur, Switzerland couch surfing where I stayed with an AWESOME host. We went snowboarding at 2 different mountains (Brambruesch and Arosa) and I met his friends. We celebrated a birthday and played fusball (table soccer). Sunny skies and long groomers made for a very fun weekend!

I also spent 3 days in Nice, France. Some of my Swiss girlfriends used to live there so we all went and stayed with Damion, one of their friends. His flat, right in the middle of town centre, was great, hosting a party for us and going dancing every night with a bunch of "Frenchies" (I was the only one not able to speak French!). I spent days wandering the beautiful city and taking in France for the first time! Around every corner was something beautiful: flower stands, pottery shops, fabric stores, butchers and cheese shops, cafes and creperies. My favorite was the Gelati stand with 65 flavors, including tomato flavor and even beer flavor (but they didn't let you do any tasting). The Castle Hill (with no castle still there) was beautifully landscaped and had AMAZING views of the city and sea. I even put a foot in the Med, but it was still REALLY cold so I didn't swim! Afternoons were spent on the beach, hanging out with some local French guys, drinking beers and chilling. It was a great, relaxing holiday weekend.

I also went with Norbert and the girls skiing for the last time this winter season. Norbert's brother's family came too (wife, son 8 and daughter 4). It was a nice weekend but the snow was pretty bad! Very sticky and lots of fog at the top. I am getting much better at my tele-turns and had my first official tele wipeout...over the front somersault. It was real spring skiing, but that is ok...it means SPRING IS ON THE WAY!
