A few more highlights from the last week in Ehrwald (it is also my Last week...wow).

Thursday was, as it always is, music night at the local bar. I have described this already a couple times (everyone in town is there, great band plays american music, good atmosphere) but this time was really fantastic because Patrick (the scot) and I and a few others all decided we were going to dance. Really dance to the great loud live music, and not be shy or inhibited or anything. And as simple as that sounds, for someone who doesn't really know how to dance, it is a pretty cool thing. Only with my great friends back home have I been able to rock out like that, so it is a really great thing.

Saturday morning I went skiing with Nadieh, and we had a good time exploring the familiar slopes for, more or less, the last time. The sun shone, we skied fast (I can keep up with her now!!) and we took pictures and had a great time. She is awesome. A real friend. I am so happy to have met her, and even happier because she lets me win when we race down the hill.

Saturday evening I went to the Tirol Hockey Final, which matched Ehrwald against Kuzhuhl. Though the pre-game partying was not really my style, and the post game partying I didn't even go to, the game itself was incredible (it is really a cool sport) and Ehrwald one, big trophy and wild excitement and endless cheering we even found ourselves storming into the locker room. Talk about a once in a lifetime experience. These people really love their ice hockey.

So, here I am, as my time in Ehrwald draws to a close. I wont reflect to much just now, as I am still here another day and besides, right Now, it is time for much-needed sleep. I will write another entry once I am back in England, where I go for a couple days before blasting down to Argentina, the next stanza in the epic.
Ich muss schlafen. Gute Nacht.
