ANDORRA'S CAPITAL: ANDORRA LA VELLA
WAITING FOR THE NIGHT TRAIN BACK TO PARIS
SKI LESSONS
THE WINDSWEPT SLOPES
As always, Paul made all the travel arrangements. All I had to do was pack! We took the Eurostar to Paris and enjoyed a meal and a walk while we passed the time until our night train to the French/Andorran boarder. Our trip home was the same thing in reverse. Those two weekends in Paris came right after the birthday/proposal weekend in Paris, making for three weekends in a row in that romantic town. Isn't life grand?
We skied every day but the last when we took a bus ride through the rugged mountains to the capital city to check out tax free shopping. The people were friendly, and the slopes offered everything we wanted except snow. We got spoiled by the snow in Colorado last year. Still, the prices were low enough that we could afford two mornings of private lessons with Alejandro from Argentina. My skiing vastly improved thanks to this and then slowly deteriorated as the week went by and I drifted into old habits. More lessons next time!
Mom and Dad are coming to Europe for the first time since I moved over here. Actually it's the first time since I graduated from high school. Along with seeing some English sights, the four of us are going to Rome for Easter. Look for my next blog to be about that.
Hope you are all well.
