An Important Lesson

Day: 5

I learned an important world tour photography lesson today, if you leave your memory card in your computer, when you go to take pictures on the slopes your camera won’t work. I sucked a little because this morning was so great that everyone should have seen it. Fresh snow on everything.

The snowboarding this morning on the other hand was spectacular. Nice soft powder, crisp air with a little snow still falling, it was the kind of morning skiers and snowboarders dream of. The day started to dwindle around noon as the clouds rolled in and the mountain quickly became a whiteout. I headed down off the slopes around 130pm when I thought to myself “If I get lost out here its going to take forever to find my way back to town.”

I took the train home, shot a few pictures, had some tea and read my book until dinnertime when I had some leftover pasta from last night. These relaxing days in the Alps are treating me well, I feel healthier than I have in a long time, a few more days and I’ll probably feel like moving on.

    I should be there with you. But then where would the misadventure be? Glad to hear you’re having a good time. Love you.

    Getting lost in a whiteout would be classified under: really bad idea. Thank God you had enough intelligence to call it a day. I know I sound like your mother, but… puhleeease be safe.

    Oh, and that sense of health and well being you feel? Duh, Robbie… that’s what happens when you suddenly become void of all forms of adult responsibility. Devour these moments, my friend. You will need them in fifteen years when you have five little red-headed children running around your house like a pack of screeching monkeys, a pissed-off wife who no longer wants to have sex with you, and a car that just blew it’s third transmission. Of course, by then, that whiteout might seem somewhat appealing.

    I see you took a new picture of the long walk down to the market. You know I miss the long climb back up to the hostel even though it sucks. Grab me a chocolate bar.

    Pretty, pretty, pretty good…anyone can accidently leave a memory card in their computer, but only a special person would accidently leave a condom in someone they just met…Did it happen to me, you bet your ass? Enjoying my Bio? Pictures look A-W-E-S-O-M-E…Sadly you’re missing the construction of Ellis Island Part Deux…
