I am aware this post's main goal is to show off pictures I took on Saturday while snow shoeing. I know, it's bad, but the view was so spectacular I just had to share!
Anyway, on Saturday I spent the day with my best friend, her fiancé and all those who will be witnesses at their wedding, to get to know each other. We went snow shoeing for the better part of the day, watched part of a rugby match (France destroyed Ireland, by the way), made crèpes for dinner and then played a custom made board game about my friend and her fiancé, girls against boys (girls won!)
The hike was pretty great, except that I was very slow, as I'm not at all in shape. Not that I'm ever in shape, so I was prepared for lagging behind. Luckily, I wasn't alone, there was another girl who was in worse shape, and we kept each other company. We started out in the clouds, but after an hour or so we had walked high enough to be above them, and then … The view is just breathtaking!
See what I mean?
On Sunday, I went to see Sherlock Holmes with a friend, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. When I had seen the trailer, the movie had seemed so different from the books that I wasn't quite convinced, but the movie was great fun! It still managed to keep Holmes relatively (that's a loose definition) in character, what with his logic, intelligence, and addictions.
Best of the best though … I discovered this morning I didn't have class this week! I still have to work at the hospital, but my workload is considerably lighter now!
ETA: tried to edit the post because some people couldn't see the pictures, but I'm not sure the result is much better (and the pictures are larger and aren't centered, so I'm not sure I'm really happy about it, but if people see them better this way…)
