Board Babies


Well, Helga and I survived five days of snowboarding without breaking anything. Never mind the fact that we are covered in bruises and can hardly walk!

Sunday we headed up to Jindabyne for an 5 days of snowboarding. After five days we could not only back edge down the mountain, but could front edge and link turns! We were treated to some amazing weather, glorious days of sunshine and good snow coverage.






Birthday El Circo Spectucular


I arrived safe and sound in Sydney to celebrate my birthday. I don't recall ever being so excited about touching down in Australia before!
Friday night (jet lag..what's that!), I headed out with Helga and friends to El Circo. It was an amazing dining and entertaining experience. The courses ranged from a three types of soup (hot and cold) served in a test tube, to lamb shank served with out cutlery (hygiene was considered and you were provided with a latex glove!), to desert with sauces added by syringe.
Through out the whole dinner we were entertained by magicians, dancers, singers and trapeze artists.
Amazing!
