They are definitely keeping us busy at the training school this week ... schedule goes something like this:

Autobahn + rental car + me behind the wheel ... well, I am sure you can understand, we had to do what we had to do:

At 151 kph, we were still in the middle lane, with people passing us on both sides. In Austria we were required to slow down to the speed limit of 130 kph. Man, what a bunch of spoil sports those Austrians are ...

This is Micaela enjoying the ride ...

It's been three days without checking my email ... I am still recovering from some of the seizures ... but I guess I can't complain too much ... I am at an International Skeleton School in Innsbruck, Austria ... and it ... is ... a ... BLAST!

More to come ... when my connection is a little more stable than when thirty seven of us are crowded next to the elevator trying to pick up the signal of a lonely little router one floor below and fighting over the a single power outlet.

First, the University of Northern BC. HELLO?!? Wicked campus! So wicked I almost picked up a form so I could apply into the Bachelor of Arts in Nature-Based Tourism Management program and get myself a ... oh, I don't know what I'm up to now ... 17th ungrad degree.

Well ... I went in and faced the masses today. And behold, I live to tell the tale.

First let's recap: SIX HUNDRED teenagers. ONE me, armed only with spandex and a speech telling them not to smoke.

I know, I know. It's a losing battle. Janet, Oh Great Coordinator of the Tobacco Free Sports Ambassador Program, how could one single development athlete even hope to face SIX HUNDRED middle school kids and come out unscathed?
