The mountains dont like me that much..

SORRY!!! Aparently not everyone new I was away for the weekend. Should have communicated that better.

So we were in Jasper, thats an little town in the mountains, about 350km away from Edmonton. We went there with some friends of Jessica (Chris his sister). It was amazing.. Ross, Jessica's boyfriend kept asking me what i preferred, the canadian mountains or the mexican ocean.. well.. i think Canada won.

So we arrived friday, the others just started drinking, Chris and me drove into Jasper to have dinner. Found a great Italian restaurant. I've really enjoyed the food here. Great food for good prices. And i like the way they always give u water, and in the morning they keep ure coffeecup filled, just like on television :-) So after dinner we went to join the rest (allready pretty drunk). I was a good girl dough, because we were snowboarding the next day.

Than saturday: we went to have breakfast... mmhmm made the mistake of ordering french toast with strawberries. Wasnt just toast, it was really greasy buttered toast covered with wiped cream and strawberry sauce.. mhmm wasnt my idea of a healty breakfast. Today i was smarter. Just ordered toast and a cup of fruit. They have a game called 'u know ure canadian if u..' well u know u are belgian if u order sidedishes of the menu:-)

Than snowboarding!!!!! Well like i said i wasnt bad.. surtenly not for a beginner. The mountains were impressing dough. Probably why i was a little bit more scared than when we were snowboarding the hills. An other reason might be that i fell hard a lot. Getting better, going harder, yeah my knees and my tail bone didnt like me that much. Just the skilift i hated. Getting of that thing, god.. not my cup of thea! And sitting in it. brrrr quite high in the sky i would say, surtenly because i am a little bit scared of hights. And than...

it happened. Got out the skilift, fell and krak... At first i was gonna trie to get down on my snowboard or on my bum if it hurted to much( yes i know.. stupid). Eventually they got me down in a bag. That was really embarrassing. A skier skied me down, and i lied in a yellow bag. They checked me out and advised me to go to the hospital..because it really hurt and they werent sure if it was sprained or broken. So i got to see the canadian hospital aswell. It took ages.. we were there from 15h30 till 19h. They took an xray. Luckily it isnt broken, just sprained, and a little bone that is attached to the sprained joint is broken, but that will heal quite good, the doctor says. The bad news is that it will take 2 till 6weeks. So that is it for my visit to Canada.... :-) no im not that negative about it. i actually new that something like that was gonna happen. Call it selfknowledge or something i saw in the stars, but walking here in the snow all the time with my boots that have no grip.. it was just bound to happen. And i can walk a bit, i just have to keep it moving. it only hurts pretty bad when my foot was resting a long time. It did cost me a lot of money, it was 650 dollars, so thats about 300 euro.. hope my insurance will cover that.
So then saturdaynight we had a little party again. Felt that pretty much on sunday, put that togheter with my foot and the fact that my eye was infected (dont ask, i dont know the reason), the day didnt start off that good.

After lunch ( perfect dolmades and pastry of spinach) me and Chris went for a little ride. That got me true it. I saw the most beautifull things that day. Athabasca falls, Sunwapta falls, and the Columbia icefields. Almost cried actually..

O yeah i forgot something. They had a hottub at the cabins! So we did that on saturday evening and sunday evening. Amasing, the contrast between the cold and the hot water. I sat in it for hours.

So today we drove back, byebye mountains, hope to see them again. We did a little d-tour to see were Chris works.

And now we are at Chris his place. Chris went to have a beer with one of his friends and im home relaxing and doing my facebook and blogging.

Ofcourse it is not amasing all the time. I do have my moments i feel alone, and miss u and someone to talk to. But than i look outside, or at one of my pictures and realise u cant have it all. im really enjoying this trip of discovering and im really learning to rely on myself. I think we'll stay home know quite a bit now, so hope to see some of u on skype or msn/facebook!!
