a fabulous weekend

S. turned 25 the other day, and to celebrate, she invited us all to her friend's chalet, up in the Swiss Alps (where we'd spent new year's). this time, it was only friends of ours, and we had a fabulous time!

the weather was amazing on Saturday. half of us went skiing, while the others went snow-shoeing. and what a hike that was! it took us over an hour and a half to find the sodding path (very poor maps and directions!), but once we finally got that far - and all of us thought about giving up more than once - it was well worth it. there was only us, walking through the forest. it was amazing.

then today, it snowed a lot. some brave souls still went skiing while the rest of us either holed up in front of the fireplace (that was me) or went for a walk. it was great, really relaxing. i'm glad i ended up going (i wasn't supposed to, originally - it's a long story). now all i need is sleep...

the picture (courtesy of T.) below is from the top of the resort, so nowhere near where i went, but it's such a nice view.
