About winter sports

I love sports in general and since is stil winter in RO we manage to practice some. We had two ski sessions (last 2 wkds) near Baia MAre in Suior, and realized they started to get modern. They have now the possibility to ski at night (lights on the slopes - nocturn in RO) and it's very nice. Also they have artificial snow cannons and a very nice wooden restaurant on top of the hill.
Skiing it's a bit expensive. Lucky us we have free accommodation at my parents' house!
We've been skating a few timea on an artificial skatering in Cluj. Peter wanted to try on a lake about 3 m deep which was frozen only in the middlle and full of crazy people skating for free. Gee! The must be insane! I simply refused so we didn't go! Luckily nobody was hurt. But how on earth can you leave your child to skate on an alake which is not properly frozen! By the way we kicked the ice to see how thick it was an it had no more than 5 cm. God! When seeing that i simply ran away, Peter laughing at my back!

Anyway the Olimpics from Vancouver are near. When in Baia MAre I used to watch on TV the competition. Not anymore, only a bit of skating and skiing but doing something else (like reading a magazine) at the same time.

Yesterday we had another sport, this time within the city...they call it SHOPPING :)! I am great at it!
