breuil cervinia and european cup race

as you might have figured out now..im not good at updating this page in time. this last weekend we went to italy for 2 european cups in breuil cervinia. first day of training was lovely weather and we got to see the beautiful landscape and the matterhorn mountain just next to the slopes. the boys had some issues with the bank turns in the course, well everybody had the same issue. we stayed at a great place on the slope mon revé, very nice athmosphere and people who runs that place. we also had great lunches in the chalet etoile restaurant. big thanks to Ulla and her crew for that. folger did qualify for the final heats both days. he ended up on 10th place on saturday and showed really good skills. robin and johan didnt make it to the heat races. it was frustration for both them and me. i know they both can make it too if they just get everything together. activity activity! we spend sunday evening in milano and had dinner at a very special place. i need to let you know about this. a restaurant next ti the first hotel malpensa. it was a old 50th saloon style with at that time fancy curtains, crystal chandelier, and lots of whine. it was two short old mens who had the place and they were brothers. they looked like small penguins when they walked around and served us. old style gentlemens. the food was not the best but the whole dinner made us laugh a lot and the old mens touched my heart. gracie
