Diary Entry #2

On the 14th we went snowboarding from 11am – 3pm, it was quite chilly but very exciting. After that we went back to the hotel and picked what restaurant we wanted, Aspen has so many to choose from but we narrowed it down and went out for a late lunch at DishAspen, there meals were very tasty. At around 5 we went to the tennis court and we took a lesson for a half hour then we challenged each other. Aspen has movies playing almost all the time so we went to see what was playing; we went to the Isis theatre and watched Slumdog Millionaire at 7:30pm, the movie was 2 hours. We went out for a late supper that night at Takah Sushi, we’ve decided every time we go to eat out that we try something new. We sat around for a bit chatting and planning on what we should do tomorrow. When we got home we went to the hot tub for awhile, it was very relaxing. The next morning we got room service, it was delicious. At 9:00am our hike started in the Aspen & Snowmass Area, our group leader was really nice and we had an awesome time doing that. At around 12:00pm we went to the hill and snowboarded again it was a bit warmer then yesterday, it was fun and no one has gotten hurt yet. We went to the spa and relaxed and pampered ourselves, it was really nice. Once again we ordered room service instead of going out because we were so exhausted, but we have more days to try new things so we weren’t worried. On the 16th we went to Aspen’s art museum, it was really admirable and lovely. The art was very colorful and exotic; I would go back anytime the art was marvelous to look at. After we were done there we walked around and found hip boutiques, shopping areas and upmarket stores selling the very latest in winter fashion and accessories. Almost everything is very expensive, but it was worth it. I bought a toque, mitts, a few shirts, and souvenirs. Krystal bought snowboarding sock, a sweater, a really nice yellow toque, and also some souvenirs. That night we went to Syzygy, it has French, South-western, Asian and Italian foods there. After that we went back to the hotel and just emailed family and friends we went to be earlier that night to get good rest.
