Davos switzerland

Hello, Well I promised to write from Switzerland! We've been here a few days but had a little trouble hooking up our internet. Davos is a beautiful little Swiss town in the heart of the Alps. WE flew in to Zurich and drove two hours to get to Davos. The Spangler Cup is a great sporting event and the people inDavos are crazy, crazy fans. They take seats out of the arena and everyone stands. They are packed in like sardines. And they yell. One guy brings a huge set of drums and then there is another guy with a massive cow bell. They sing and whistle--an extremely high pitch whistle. It is crazy. Canada beat a team from Sweden the first game and then last night we beat Davos--the home team. The fans were so mad at the refs they booed them and I mean booed them. And when our goalie--Justin Pogge who was on Canada's World Junior team and he wrote a quote for my book--is in the Swiss end they scream at him. They were so mad at the refs in the Davos game and they were booing them like crazy. The atmosphere is so crazy in Europe. Pat Quinn is coaching and his wife Sandra (a great lady) fell and broke her wrist yesterday. She's a trooper though and now is walking around with a cast on.
We've been really busy with outdoor sports. Outside our hotel is a huge ice rink--I've been told one of the biggest in the world. Today the speed skaters were out practising. I'm not quite as fast as they are! And we went tobagganing. NOw, this is not your regular run of the mill tobagging. We rented sleds and took the chair lift to the top of the ski hill. Then there are these tobaggan tracks and you sled down. It is so fast! You have to dig your feet in to slow down. At first I freaked I was going so fast. My hubby crashed. He flew off the edge. He wasn't hurt and our kids thought he looked a little funny rolling off the sled. It is a crazy thing to do but tons of fun. And...we also went skiing at Parsonns ski hill. It was fabulous even though there is not tons of snow. There are lifts everywhere. And you can actually ski down to the town of Klosters which is around 13 km away. We made it to the halfway point because of the snow situation and caught the gondola back up. I love all the trams and gondolos. You can also catch one from one mountain peak to the next mountain peak. I think we will ski again, try another area. There are so many ski areas and they are situated so close to each other.
Time to go! Say it with me. GO CANADA GO.
I'll update ou tomorrow after we play the team from Russia. And after I've eaten my first Bratwurst and had my first fondue!!!
