skinny skis

So the x-country misadventure was a success! It had been well over a decade since I delved into the flatland ski scene. I fell on my ass twice at the start, but after that I just slinked awkwardly across the ice pack. At least there is never anyone around to see you looking like a fool, besides the wildlife. Certainly a great workout. After the first hour I actually got into a gliding rhythm and I kind of enjoyed it. What I realized...How much I need to get a pair of downhill skis out here!! We will be in Anchorage before to long so I am waiting until then before I start acquiring more possessions. You can only fit so much on those small planes.

A side note, I forgot to mention some new friends I met on my Friday night outing. A local councilman and his cousin. Cool folks who were kind enough to entertain me after the Sea Inn was done for the night, the bar closes here at 2 a.m. The cousin, a girl my age, owns this awesome little house in the classic Alaskan lodge style. They hopefully will be contacts I can keep should I ever return to Dillingham.

...on and on it goes.
