Ah. The Ski trip. What a crazy, amazing, wild, fun, and disorienting trip. See, a couple of weeks ago we were invited to go skiing in Austria. We of course said yes. Well, we got some AMAZING pictures and videos!


It was super foggy. Which was really strange. Actually, to be more accurate, it wasn't foggy but cloudy. We were at such a high altitude that we were in the clouds!



This was a ride up one of the main ski lifts.



There aren't many videos from the trip but there were a LOT of photo opportunities!

The view from the top of the red. Breath taking!



Relaxing at the top of a red run!


It was so cold that Val's hair started frosting!

Old Christmas Videos

I've been really falling behind on blogging! Sorry to everyone who looks at my blog. I'm gonna try and get better about it!



Anyways, I forgot to post videos of when we went to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, so here it is now! Better late than never.

This first video is of some blacksmithing! It was really cool and it was nice to get close to a heat source since it was so unbelievably cold!

Along with the blacksmithing were some carols! It was great. This was a rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star!"

Lastly, there was this street performer with a puppet. People loved it and he drew a huge crowd. It might be hard to see in the video but the "puppet" got mad when an old man walked accross his stage. It was pretty hilarious!

I loved Bratislava and I think it was a nice place to go for a day trip.

So fast forward a bit and we find ourselves at the day filled with adventure. Jake, Val, and I explored the town and discovered many new and interesting sights! The first was the top of Castle District.


the castle and the Fisherman's Bastion!

These were some old ruins accompanied by a little dialogue from my self and from Jake!

This was part of the underground hospital. They were selling gas masks for 1500 HUF ($7.50) and that was WAY too good of a deal to pass up. We had a lot of fun afterwards taking pictures and videos wearing the masks!

Well, now we fast forward to the recent past. Val and I's friend Amy recently had a birthday party and she invited us. It was Mexican themed and she invited some Hungarians to join in the festivities as well. Great fun! They all loved the tacos that Amy made and Val even made some sopapillas that everyone loved as well!
