Devil's Head and a sore back.

My first experience skiing. It was beautiful, snowing in Wisconsin at the Devil's Head resort. And I did get lessons from friends. STOP --> how do you stop, you need to wedge and make a pizza and you stop.....naaah... didn't get it. Every time I went up the mountain and then saw I am heading towards someone/a tree/a pole I did not know how to stop, so all I did was fall. And fell every time I had to stop. The next day had the whole body sore and could not do anything. But the fun I had skiing is not to be compared. No pain no gain.

No Sun No Fun.

I decided to write about the weather, since the extreme winter is my first experience. These are the things I learn...

1. It might look bright and sunny outside and you feel like what a wonderful day and when you go out you realize its around -4 deg Fahrenheit/ -20 deg Celsius. (And you are frozen).
2. I always thought that the snow moves from up to down (gravity????) but in Chicago downtown it goes horizontal and upwards. Is it going back to the clouds?
3. You can wear 6 layers of clothes, 2 layers of socks, 2 layers of gloves a cap and ear muffs and you are perfectly fine to go out. (Don’t try to go to a store and try out clothes, that’s a definitely No No to do).
4. You can walk on a frozen stream or river. It feels odd to walk on water - okay frozen water. (I am standing on the stream in the picture)
5. And when its snows it gets warmer.

I seem to like the winter No Sun still its fun.
