On
the
Thursday
dull morning
March 2nd me
and Jirka repeated our
Tuesday visit to the
"boulangerie" (bakery). For this once we bought good looking
croissants in addition to the popular two feet long
baguettes.
It was delicious breakfast, mainly excellent croissants. And
tea and coffee ...
And then we did as on Monday and Tuesday : " Le Houches,
go !
".
We
bought one day ski passes and before 10 a.m. we already stood
in the edge of the piste. And ... " Get going ! " we started
our other skiing day ...
The weather was nothing to shout about, it was snowing
sometimes. Fortunately sun
was winning occasionally so we savored our down-hill skiing very much. Hana and Jitka went down that easier one, me
and Jirka
tried
to be better and better in that more difficult "Kandahar"
piste. All of us did our
best. As I said sometimes sun lighted up and there were
beautiful views to the
mountains and valleys all around. Marvelous, fascinating ...
It was like a daydream.
At about noon we all met at the "Le Prarion" restaurant,
we had french fries, hot
wine,
coffee, pommes frites and relished our rest. We could
hear mainly French and English at that room. There were also
many skiers
from the States, I think. No Czechs ...
When we recuperated, we continued doing winter sport
until about 3 p.m.
But then there was a change. We decided to go back down the
pistes to Le Louches downtown. Wow ! It was the exciting, steep
and long ride ! That return journey was more than 3 km (about
2 miles) long ... Well. All of us managed it in one piece,
fortunately. Really, it was very interesting and memorable
experience. Maybe the top of our skiing that we had done until
that time.
And then as usual ... back "home" and savor our rest after
nice but exhausting day with beer, coffee, cakes and cards.
Very pleasant time ... very easy.
At about 6 p.m. we walked downtown to do sightseeing and
to eat. This time we chose the restaurant offered mexican
meal named "Fiesta Grande". All of us hadn't had much experience
with mexican meal before so we wanted to try it. Frankly
speaking I was the one who recommended it to others ... Me and
Hana have got a splendid
memories of mexican meal that we ate in the restaurant in
Cortez during our visit to the
States. So, why not to try it again ? Go to !
And me and Hana enjoyed that our decision very well. We love
mexican cuisine. Burittos, enchiladas ... yum, yum. Jitka and
Jirka didn't enjoy their so much ... However, again, good
wine was good solution :-) so our visit to that mexican pub was
successful enough.
After coming "home" we ended our evening by one bottle of wine
and talking ... |
