Two Nights in the Mountains

The airport here is still closed (and will be until at least May), and this is not a country that is easily traveled in and out of by car.  

We decided to get out of the city right after Christmas for a little down time, so our team went to stay in the mountains, hoping for a little snow like last year.

It was cold, but unfortunately, like most of you guys, we did not get any snow.

Before we got in the cable car to go to the top, we stopped at a waterfall to stretch our legs

And what do you know...we took another family photo!!

Pretty, with or without snow.

This was last year...

We also took a side trip to a nearby mountain and rode a slow train that took us over the edge of the mountain and allowed us to look down.

A little too scary for my liking.

This is the same waterfall that I mentioned at the beginning, looking down from the train.  Someone is trying to transform this place into a touristy area, but it's still under construction.

We also got to ride sleds with hand breaks.  Everyone else but Keira and I went VERY fast, but Keira and I took our sweet little time.

This is the top of the mountain we stayed on, and Doug and Kylie win the prize for the best picture!



When we came down the mountain two days later, we stopped to take pictures by this gorge.





And then, we got a little crazy...

Apparently, we need to get out of the city a little more often.  We seem to be "losing it."
