A whole lotta SNOW!!

So, since I last posted, not much has changed... my life revolves around working, sleeping and snowboarding.

Work has calmed down a lot lately. So much in fact that sometimes it seems like time is standing still. The other morning we served a total of 17 guests for breakfast (and we're open from 7am - 11am)... needless to say, I was quite happy to finally get out of there!

The most exciting thing I've done in the last 2 weeks is buy my season pass for Lake Louise. Okay, so I know that I said I was gonna buy a pass for Sunshine - but everyone I know who rides or skis is up at LL, so I decided it was worth a little bit more $$ to be able to have a 'snowboarding social network'. So I said goodbye to $800, but hello all the snow I can handle! Nevermind the fact I look like an Ewok in my photo... if me being an Ewok gets me up the hill, then so be it! I stacked out and wacked my head the other day, so my next purchase will be a helmet, to protect my precious grey matter! Heading up the mountain again on Monday... can't wait - hopefully it'll snow between now and then!

Compared to last week, it's gotten a lot warmer - we were sitting up around minus 20, and now we're back to a tropical minus 8 or so! Talking of tropical, my latest hairbrained scheme is to get myself to Mexico. Heather and I have decided that at some stage we may need a break from all this coldness and snow... so where else would you go but Mexico? And plus, when else am I ever going to get the chance to go there? So we're looking at a week sometime towards the end of April... which is just before I start my roadtrip (including trains and planes) out East to get to New York. Arrrrriiiibbbaaa!

On the Domestic front, my roomate moved out and another one moved in. Her name is Taki and she's a gorgeous girl from Japan who will be working with me in Primrose - she's such a sweetie - she's gonna fit right in to the Primrose team.

That's all for now - I have to drag myself to Safeways to buy some bread and other exciting daily neccessities...

Take Care Now

Going somewhere warm is definitely a nice goal to keep you going through the hazardous mountain winters...like the pain of a thousand knives in the windy pre sunrise darkness! So i'm going to Cuba myself, have fun amigo!

Kia ora Pipiwai! Wow it sounds like you're having a whole heap of fun overseas, Im jealous and wish I was travelling the world with you. Life in Whangarei is pretty quiet at the moment, although I've just started karate and have been spending a lot of time at the beach. Miss you, Rye
