A wonderful thing happened last weekend. Nicholai and I went cross-country skiing in lower Austria in a town called St. Aegyd. It was the first time either of us had even been skiing and it was great! It's not at all frightening, but be prepared to fall down a lot! But boy is it funny, and it's a great deal of physical work. Nick is STILL sore nearly a week later!
We stayed at a small horse farm called Maho (http://www.maho-pferbe.at/). The owners were wonderful, the food was good, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the prices were amazingly reasonable. The people were also exceptionally friendly! We were even invited by the owners to take a photo with our friends to put on their wall! So if you ever go skiing in lower Austria (or even horseback riding or hiking in the warmer months) and decide to stay at Maho, look for us on the wall in the restaurant!
One of the best parts of the short excursion (we went there via train) was seeing Nicholai's reaction to all the snow. Seeing it in such abundance on the ground and in the trees gives one a whole difference perspective on how beauty can differ greatly. I mean, while the ocean and sandy beaches are stunning, so too are snow-covered tree tops! We can't wait to go again!
