LIENZ!! falling and PROM dresses!


LIENZ!
We had a race today in Lienz!! It's a cute little town in Austria just below the Italian Dolomites... I think.


Walking around town with Lise Marie, taking in the sights!! Definitely one of the cooler towns we get to stay in!


Woke up this morning feeling good about the race... Inspected, warmed up, etc...
Pic from the chairlift heading up the hill.



A cool little church thing propped up on the hill! Random and interesting!! ha


THE GIRLS!!! And someone struggling in the warm up course hahaha

MAD SKILLS
YOUR GAME IS SALTY....
we have not come to a group decision on weather or not "your game is salty" is a good or bad thing.... anyone???
Shona's sweet new stickers!! ha!



GOOD TIMES!!
My new stickers!! And new helmet!


Anyway, despite feeling good about today and how I am skiing, I fell!!
I started out OK, not as well as I was hoping, but I was attacking and trying to get a good feeling on the snow, when I straddled/fell.... so that was that.
short day at the office...  We watched Bri come into 17th for second run!! ANd our friend Sarah SLAYED second run and came 5th! It was a pretty exciting race, but hard to watch from the sidelines....
anyway,
Mitch and I decided to check out more of Lienz!!

Awesome Christmas Decorations!

Loading the van!! with cool mountains looming above!!

German words....

met up with some friends in town!!

Once we got bored of cruising around town, we decided that the BEST IDEA EVER would be to try on PROM DRESSES!! Yay!! haha
It was going to be hilarious to try on the ugliest ones we could find, until our MODEL physio Stef looked absolutely gorgeous in a not so gorgeous dress..... She won that game. ha.
but it was still a really funny time! haha!!



my dress!! ha

Mitch and Shona found matching TUTU's!! hahaha and SOCKS... ew.


Ready for PROM!!!



Euro dresses are AMAZING!!! Hands down highlight of the day!


We were so ghetto that we shared dressing roomd!!! Stef, still being a model... me being a weird model wannabe.

After so much excitement we hit up my favourite place EVER the Mpreis!!! Groceries, coffee, wine, chocolate, laundry detergent...... everything important in one store!

And so, we left the HUGE Italian mountains once again with not so much to show in terms of racing, but some good times nonetheless... Hopefully next week in Croatia will be more successful!

  1. Looks like you all know how to turn a half glass of lemonade into a full glass and why can't you persuade Shona to blog? Nice to know what is happening in your world Posted by Wilma Rubens
