Well today was the first day in the entire time that we have been here that we actually got to go climbing on real rock! I think we will have to go a lot more now that the weather is nice. Tomorrow we will either be climbing again or hitting Munich for some surfing. Depends on whether I can get a hold of my ride.
Soon I will update you with lots of pictures and movies. Just haven’t had the time to put things together.
Well I was going to put up a surfing video, but I am not sure if my skills justify a movie quite yet. We will be going again tomorrow and then Thursday we are going to hit the big wave in Munich. By then I suspect that I will have enough to show you. Even if it isn’t me, but is other’s in Munich. 🙂
As for how things are going. They are going good. We finally have sunshine again and there is lots to do out side.
Well the sun is back. At least for a couple of days and now it is time to hit the river. As long as the water is high enough one of the rapids folds back and makes a small wave and you can surf on the river. We have a cable going across the river with a rope tied to it. You get on the surf board by the edge of the river and then let your self back until the surf board is on the wave. If the river is high enough you don’t even need to hold on to the rope. I would compare the surfing experience to surfing behind the boat. The wave is maybe a bit bigger the wake could ever get. I will see if I can’t film it so you get an idea of what it is like.
Rain rain on my face
It hasn’t stopped
Raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become
One with the mud
It seems as though the sun shine has forgotten about Austria. Things have been getting a bit dreary, but not to bad. Needless to say we will be watch’n all three Lord of the Ring movies tomorrow.
Oh and the other reason that I had the Jars of Clay song at the beginning is because they are coming to our church.
Well it looks like Kim and I will be spending a week in Paris. Today we received our flights. We purchased them with our Air Canada air miles. Seeing as we never know for sure what is going to happen with Air Canada I think it is a pretty good deal. So at the end of Spring School we will be practicing our French. Yikes!
As well today was Vic’s last day. He left this morning and is heading back to Canada. It’s to bad he had to leave, because we sure had some great times and one amazing winter!
Well it hasn’t been terribly sunny here during the last few weeks, but the company has been great and so has the outdoors. Even though it has been raining a bit we have still managed to go on some hikes, play some soccer, a little climbing, and soon we will be watching the world cup mountain bike downhill. Like the ski race here in the winter it will also be at night. It will be good to get back and see many of you again, but at the same time it sure is a good time here. There is always something to do. Have a good one and I will try and be a little more regular with some pictures worth looking at.
Went climbing today at the U, good times had by all. I was struck that when I got there I instantly got this sorta happy, exciting feeling inside. I guess it can be a combination of good memories of past times there and excitement adout getting back into something that I quite enjoy doing. The climbing wall has provided many hours of solving problems and just hanging out with some cool people. The people that are there are I find are some of the most friendly people I have ever met. It is just an enjoyable, relaxing environment to be in. Plus the climbing is pretty good as well. I think I enjoy climbing because it is a combination of physical and metal exercise, plus it is a sport where you compete against yourself and push yourself to do some pretty cool moves. Nothing quite like when you redpoint the route or problem you have been working on for a while. Well I hope to continue the trend and get back into a regular climbing schedule, and am looking forward to getting out doors for a couple of trips.
Today I had my first sermon. It was on Connecting with God. It went ok, but I am a little uncertain about what I think. I was kind of rushed and I didn’t get into as much detail as I wanted, but it isn’t to bad. If you want to have a look at the power point and listen to what I said you can download (20 MB) it. We will see how long I actually leave it up.
Let me know what you think and if you have any trouble downloading it.
Well last night was quite entertaining. We had Austrian Dancing Night. I have put some pictures into a new Austrian Dancing Gallery. Here is a preview pic.
As well as I have made a little hair style change…
Actually I have such a wimpy head that I couldn’t even sleep on it so I took it out before I went to bed, but for a few minutes I was cool thanks to Erin.
Here are a couple of pics from Kim’s parents visit. Besides I am sure you were getting tired of looking at Dan’s ugly ear everytime you came to the web site.
