the pioner experience

You may have noticed that I have not posted anything since last Tuesday... I got home ok on Tuesday, but it started to rain and all of the rain froze instantly. Louisville was turned into a winter wonderland, but that meant, that nothing was working anymore. Power went out, schools were closed, University was closed and I did not go to Work on Wednesday. There was no way I could have made it down teh 30°steep driveway with all the branches and ice on it.... Later during the day it started snowing and as of 12.30 we lost power.... We had to start the fireplaces and it turned into a wounderful winter experience. The trees were al really pretty with the snow and the ice on them, but many of them broke due the amount of ice.... One time during the night something must have hit the wall to which my bed was standing, because I did feel it shake.... But as already said, I really enjoyed it. We sat around the fireplace, roasted Hot Dogs, listened to a ball game, had candles on everywhere.... I was great. And I new no matter how long the conditions were gonna be like that, there was a definit end to it for me. So I really enjoyed it. I went out into the snow on the four wheeler. That was fun!!! I already send out some pictures.... Due to the weather I did not manage to make it back to the cardiology office, but I did have the chance to go out with Jim (finally) and his girlfriend. I had a wounderful time. The sushi was really tasty!!!! Thanks for that and the chocolate cake... AWESOME!!! And thanks again for letting me use the car. That was extremely helpful and the mamamobil and I made it almost every day... Just the last ones were a little bit rough....
Now I am on my way to Sydney. I am sitting at the aiport in Vegas and I am waiting for my next flight to LA... I have had a few really bad nights of almost no sleep because I kept thinking of things that may go wrong... I am still a little anxious, excited, sad and can't really believe that I am on my way to one of the most exciting cities of the world.... I'll keep you posted on how that goes... Hopefully I will have internet.....
