Sunday

Sunday this week was alike the last, except with my brother missing. He had practice at 2 that afternoon, and couldnt manage to come. The service was the same, but this time I met a bunch of people that all proved to be very nice and generous. It even appears that we may have somewhere to go on Christmas- and maybe even a trip up to the mountains to the ski resorts. Afterwards a lunch at Chili's then a trip back to the Osborns to hang out and talk. I spoke to some friends of the Osborns who were very interested in AFL in all its brutal glory. The concept that you can play a sport like football and not wear pads seems to intrigue many Americans, I am beginning to think when they discover that we play this sport and subject our kids to it that we may be a little crazy. As I said before, it has snowed and the sky is proving to make some very interesting light shows. There is a fog that decends over the city at night which leaves the tops of the buildings visable but everything below is shrouded in mist. I dont know what is more beautiful- the clear sight of the mountains or the hint of the majesty misted by fog. I posted a few shots of around the guest house, this was a church that was made in the 19th century. It is strange for me who is used to being able to see for miles to be somewhere where the furthest point visable is 300 metres away. The building shown in the day picture is the guest house that we are staying in. On the picture of the church, that isnt snow on my lens, its the flash picking up all the minute snowflakes. Looks sweet.
