The Journey Ends - Part One
So I didn't get a chance to write much about what happened. We've been pretty busy! I'll try to highlight it.
The first day we started by going to Peaches. This is a quaint restuarant on the way into North Conway that arguably has the best pancakes in the world. I mean, Bob's in Pittsburgh has the biggest pancakes in the world, but these were just good. All in all an excellent restaurant with great atmosphere and service.
Then we took a drive up to the EMS. We were in the search for ski pants. EMS was sold out of ski pants, but Jaime was able to find a nice pair in the Joe Jones across the street. They look and work really nice besides being slightly long. They were on sale for bit more the 100 smackers.
Fran and I discovered a little coffee shop in the Eastern Slope Inn that has excellent coffee. We were now almost prepare to drive up into the White Mountains. But first we got some diesel fuel in the Passat TDI.
So then we drove up into the mountains and I pointed out the peaks I knew from countless hours of studying maps of the presidential range (ha). In actuality I was really making it all up. Plus, you really couldn't see how high the mountains were because they were shrouded in fog or freezing fog, or clouds, or something like that.
So up around Gorham, everyone fell asleep. So I turned back around at Lowe's Store and headed for the Hostel. We got dressed and hit the slopes by about 3:00 PM.
We got the Cranmore "Come after 2 and get the next day too" deal. So we were able to ski two days for $45 each! So we hit the green trails and soem blue, and one accidental black. It was snowing so we got some excellent powder! About 3-4 inches of it. It was awesome skiing.
Around 8:00 PM we decided to wrap up and get some food. We switched out of our gear and headed to Horsefeathers right in town. I am always amazed by the quality of food, atmosphere and service. The food was excellent and the service was great despite the fact that the computers went down!
Afterwards we hit "The Met" for some coffee. Again, great drinks and we chatted with a guy that works at the hospital doing X-Rays. He said that "business was slow this year" and he hoped to "never see us again" because that would mean we had injured ourselves. Otherwise a very nice guy.
Well, I need to head off to the shower. I'll write back soon!
