Día de Reyes
For Three Kings day (Día de Reyes) we decided to have a real Puerto Rican feast. Javier and I spent the day in the kitchen making arroz con pollo and boiled yuca. Our friends Noel, Carina, and Dave joined of for dinner. Noel even tried his hand at making flan; what a chef! The flan was excellent and his "secret" ingredients definitely hit the spot.

Skiing in Austria
Javier had so much fun skiing in Lech that he wanted to try it again. So we found a great beginner friendly mountain in Austria called Lofer. Its about 40km from Salzburg and is just on the tip of the Alps, so it is beautiful. The day after Christmas we got in the car and made the 5 hour drive. We stayed in a beautiful Frühstückspension (bed and breakfast) that allowed us to walk right out to the gondola in the morning. After two 9-minute gondola rides we were ready to ski.
The trail in the pictures above was the intermediate level trail 
that Javier was skiing by the end of the weekend. He's done a great job and has really picked up skiing, but it wasn't always about the intermediate slopes. Here's Javier mastering the tow rope on the bunny hill.
He made getting down the trail as easy as going up.....
I enjoyed the skiing as well. We were lucky to have had such beautiful days.
Both days that we skiied it was warm and sunny. We were even able to have lunch outside one day. Take a look at the trail behind me in this picture. Those people are taking a tow rope up to the expert trails.

2008 Started off with a Bang!!
There's not much I can say about our start to 2008 except that it was a lot of fun and no one got arrested (you'll have to ask if you're curious about that story).
Our friends Danielle and Jonathan threw another stellar party! The whole crew was there, including Kristin and Keith, who had spent the last few months back in the states. To celebrate we partied well into the early morning, shot off lots of fireworks from the balcony, and danced, danced, danced.
Here's a few photos (we originally took 300 pictures) of the night!
