The days are waxing! And with it I'm potentially starting to feel color and warmth in my body again. Except we still have February to chug through. That may take some doing.
The above pictures were from our vacation in Bermuda. They were taken on Horseshoe Beach. Bermuda was a lot of fun- not tropical like St. John was, but certainly refreshing after icy Massachusetts. We met a lovely family from Boston and were able to hang with them quite a bit. The wife is British and works at Tufts (I'll definitely sit in on one of her classes when I go visit) and the husband was very nice. Both are Jewish. They have 7 year-old twins named Analise and Ilan.
The last night in Bermuda we ate at the restaurant at the hotel which is considered the fanciest restaurant in all of Bermuda. The meal was exquisite- in terms of presentation, taste, quality, and service. The exorbitantly large bill was definitely proof of its immaculateness.
Dessert was amazing (as was the rest of the meal, but dessert is, of course, what matters most!). I had raspberry crême brulée with many garnishes including spun sugar.
We returned home to the dreary weather, but it's alright because that just mean that skiing season got underway. For the remainder of break, I divided my time between skiing and Matteo.
There have been multiple quizzes and tests recently, and grades close tomorrow for midterms.
Matteo left a week ago this past Saturday. Last week was hard for me, but now I'm looking ahead to Isabelle's visit on Friday. She'll come to school with me and then we'll hang out Friday evening/night. I'm quite excited to hear how her Mountain School Adventures go.
We had a ski race on Saturday. It was 4 degrees with the wind chill in Dalton where Wahconah is located. It was a sprint race and I came in second for Amherst.
As Schools Match Wits was on Saturday night. My family watched (accompanied by Bryna) at Catherine's house. It was quite embarrassing- last year it wasn't as bad because at least we won!
Well, Cherry Hill today, Cherry Hill tomorrow, Empty Bowls Dinner tomorrow, Northfield on Wednesday, babysitting on Wednesday, Thursday requires baking for STAND, and then Friday=ISABELLE!
I'll try to post more often. Next step is Nordic Ski pictures.
