(Cántese con la melodía de “El Rey”, de José Alfredo Jiménez)
Un hielito en el camino
me enseñó que mi destino
era bajar y bajarBajar y bajar
Bajar y bajarDespués me dijo un reno
que no hay que llegar primero
si no hay que entero arrivar…
Seguramente el maestro Jiménez estará revolcándose en su tumba. 😉
When I was a student I won a small award for academic achievement, and with that money I bought myself a set of cross-country skis with matching poles & boots.
I don’t regret that in the slightest. Keeps you trim, helps develop balance and is the most fun you can have when there’s snow around. It also helps that I’ve never been forced to do it 😉
After I moved to Finland, one of the things I learned to love was cross-country skiing, so when I was a student and was awarded a small stipend for school achievement, I used that money to buy myself a set of cross-country skis, poles & boots.
Since the past couple of winters have been pretty lousy in southern Finland and I was in Brussels for a year, it had been at least 3 years since I used my skis last time until yesterday. It was, however, like reuniting again with a long-lost friend.
Maybe I should start the Mexican Nordic Combined team? 😉
On jo alkanut, ja en ole siellä. Toivottavasti pärjäätte hyvin (nöh, tiedän jo). Täällä on vaan pilvistä ja sateista. Eilen näin joku mainos telkkarissa jossa joku kaveri hiihtia, ja minulle tuli ikävä. En mä usko että muiden on helppoa ymmärtää miten hyvältä hiihtaminen voi tuntua. Ehkä jos pystyn jäämän Suomeen kauemmaksi aikaa voisin mennä kilpailemaan, hehehe.
