I went on another hike with our host mom and siblings today. It was really fantastic. This time we walked about 2 miles out of town to a mountain lake named Tolors.
I was suuuper impressed with our host mom, who spend the majority of the hike not only walking, but towing one or another of her kids on a sled. What an incredible workout!
And while it wasn't exactly rough terrain, the snow was uneven and lumpy where the cars had driven on uncleared roads.
The countryside here is beautiful.
One of the most astounding moments to me was when our host mom said "we'll have to come back in the spring when everything pretty". I was at a loss for words. I think this it's beautiful as it is.
When we finally got to the lake, it was magnificent. It's apparently a reserve for a local hydroelectric plant, but you couldn't see any of that from the lake shore.
We at a small lunch at the lake, and I admired the scenery while the kids played around.
As we walked back home, we were all exhausted, but thoroughly satisfied with ourselves. It has been an excellent day.
