La Pauline:Snow Shoe Queen!
Today I went snow shoeing up in the Catskills. It is not for the faint of heart. I somehow got mixed up in a group of experienced outdoorsy people, but I held my own and was always in the front of the group. Seems that all those hours logged at the gym have built up my stamina.
The whole set can be seen here.
Adventure, in life, is very important, and I hope that after seeing these pictures you'll try to get more in your life. Too many New Yorkers spend their weekends cooped up in their homes doing nothing, or seeing bad movies or drinking too much in seedy Irish bars, and that is no fun at all. Clear your head. Go play outside.
Surprisingly, snow shoes do not look like giant tennis raquets.
Off we go!
International symbol for snow shoeing?
What a view!

Next year's Christmas card?

Even in the great outdoors you have to wear earrings
Into the woods and through the trees...
How much farther?

Lunch spot
Smiling, now that I had a sandwich
That last climb was no joke
