We have snow again. And by snow I mean 2 1/2 feet of powdery wonderful. Last night I spent an hour sledding down a hill with the Juliette Low Seminar participants. Some of them had never seen snow before much less played in it. And I realized that although we spoke different languages and had completely different backgrounds, giggling is universal. And we did a lot of it.
Tonight I went to the local hockey game. It was outdoors and the snow was coming down so thick you could hardly see. And it was wonderful. I had a kaffee fertig (coffee finished or coffee with schnapps in it, which to the swiss means "it's done") and yelled along with the crowd. The only cheer I retained was "hopp Adelboden" which means go Adelboden. They had a band that consisted of giant cowbells and drums. And just because they had drums didn't mean they had rhythm. But it was a great time had by all. And Adelboden is magical in the snow. It's your ideally picturesque Christmas destination! I think I'll miss it when I'm gone. But what a wonderful reason to return one day.
