Vacation, pt 2

Tuesday afternoon, after a reasonably relaxing morning spent lounging about the cottage, Hilary and I took Jasper an about half our gear to Bear Notch, located about halfway between North Conway and Crawford Notch, for some cross-country skiing. It's cheaper than downhill, more athletic, and much less crowded. A key advantage was that Jasper was permitted there, too. Jasper, of course, was beside himself with excitement: miles of running through the snow. The only downside was that we were going to make him wear his booties, so that his feet didn't get galled up with snow.

Oh the indignity!

He also got to meet a long lost cousin: a fluffy black dog of similar breed to his own.


Hooray for the outdoors!
