our swiss friend, sanjoy, hosted the 3rd annual fondue gathering last friday. everyone loves the fondue party, dare i say that it is our most anticipated winter gathering. aaron and i had some problems getting there...we started off on our bikes, but before i could completely leave our driveway i had already fallen off my bike and tumbled to the ground (no, there was no alcohol involved). once i had recuperated, we biked about 15 blocks before i got a flat tire. we walked our bikes back home and drove. the rocky trip was worth it though. there is something magical about friends, wine, and swiss cheese dip.
saturday we gathered at theresa's to watch the cardinals v. saints game. the game itself was pretty lame (cardinals lost), but it was a great excuse to eat chili, cornbread, and apple crisp. we also discovered for the love of ray j. it has the honor of being the best worst show ever to watch. i'm holding out hope that these people are all paid actors pretending to be contestants on a reality show, and not actual real people .
sunday was pretty laid back. we had some brunch with friends at hattie's hat in ballard, took a short nap (because brunch can be exhausting, you know?), and then played some pool at the buckaroo.
we were both pretty excited to go snowshoeing on monday. however, the route that i picked from the book, there was absolutely no snow. sad. we made the best of things and did an pleasant (but short) hike to the big four ice caves. it was nice to just get out of the city, breath the fresh air, and get a bit of exercise. when we got back home, it was so nice (60 degrees!) out that we went to the park with our favorite swiss man, to toss the frisbee and play the first round of boccie of 2010.
oh, yes. 2010 is great indeed.
