Hiking time!

                      I was able to take a few hikes on the trails behind the wonderful hotel! The first few days were really pleasant and then on my birthday, December 4th we had a beautiful snow...

My new friends, Margaret and Ingrid. 

Ingrid spoke German and English. She let me know I was speaking too quickly in English, which try as I might, I could not slow down much. Then... we realized that we both also spoke Spanish. So that solved it, we spoke in Spanish and slower English the rest of the time!
