Bonne Année! Happy New Year! I had a great two weeks at home celebrating the holidays with my family, and now I'm back teaching in Gap. Last weekend Slawa came up from Avignon and we went skiing at a resort 45-minutes north of Gap. Luckily we got a ton of snow the days before she came and we ended up with a crystal clear day for skiing! I was a bit rusty and took more than just a couple of spills, but it was a thrilling experience skiing in such a beautiful environment. In fact, it was kind of dangerous because sometimes I would be distracted by the spectacular views.
