Spring has (almost) sprung

rain. rain . rain
The end of the ski season was yesteday, complete with a lameo concert and torch skiing at night. I am sad to see the snow go.. it was a good source of entertainment. But now, between the rain storms I have been doing some hiking in the hills, having exhausted (within the first day or two) the walks within the little village.

Despite the mud, the walks are lovely. no worries about hungry bears or wildcats, or snakes. They killed all those off a long while ago. I did come across a pig skeleton of sorts the other day..which could be worrisome...

I went to gymnastics in Grenoble the other day, just getting there was too much effort. It took about an hour to drive to the stupid place, only to find out that google maps has directed me to a Judo club. I walked around in my snowboots, sweating and swearing and asking for directions. I even borrowed a guys phone once. He only handed it over to me after some intense questioning about where I was calling, how long.. I really picked the wrong guy. I planned to get there a few hours early so that i could grab something to eat, and read, i did get there early, but I found the gym right on time.

Turns out i have signed up for competitive girls gymnastics! Fourteen, fifteen years old.. and then me. i was happy to see that a 22 year old girl arrived a little late, and we ended up hanging out the whole time. It was a really nice gym, with two types of foam pits, two tramps, but surprisingly relaxed. I asked what they needed me to sign, and pay, but they waved me off and said later.

They had rythmic gymnastics at the same time, and they were pretty decent. Very very bendy, complete with a ball or hoolahoop and a sparkly costume. Even though its Not gymnastics, I enjoyed watching it..
