Winter Wonderland

We ended up getting about 4 inches of snow. It made everything look so pretty. It has also been REALLY cold, so not much has melted in the last two days. The highs have only been in the 20’s. Also in Belfort they don’t shovel the sidewalks, so they have become ice rinks. I almost fell about five times going to my classes this morning. It really makes me miss Boulder, where you had to have the sidewalks shoveled by 12 pm the next day!!

We are supposed to have another chance of snow tomorrow night. I guess it is a good thing that we aren’t going anywhere this weekend. It might be a little too cold for sightseeing.

The first weekend of February we are going to Paris. We are going to Disneyland on Saturday, and then go to Versailles on Sunday because in winter the first Sunday of every month admission is free. We would be saving like 18 or 20 euros, so that sounds good to me.

Here are a couple of pictures of the snow from my bedroom window.

Just a couple of hours after it started…

Ah, brings back memories of my constantly falling on the ice on my college campus. I was famous for my falls!

Did you make any "boules de neige"?

Versailles makes Hearst Castle look like a dump! Hope you like it.
