The Bird

Our condo week at Snowbird eases us into fall.  We rented a room at the Iron Blosam Lodge for an extra night, Friday, September 12, 2014, so we'd have one entire weekend, as well as five weekdays.  The flowers were still out on the patio at the Steak Pit, but the leaves on the mountains were turning red and yellow and the nights were chilly.

 Dave wore his cute bowler hat as we took the tram and checked out the shops.

Snowbird is both gorgeous and comfortingly familiar.  We love the walk from the lodge to our condo, past a tiny reflecting lake.

 Camille and her children joined us one evening to swim.

 They came back again to eat brats, sauerkraut, pretzels, and Bavarian cherry cake at Oktoberfest.

 We all love Bavarian polka music.

 One favorite sight is elderly Swiss and Germans in their dirdnls and lederhosen.

 Mia and Gretta danced.

Dave chose this masterpiece (?) from the Marco Polo shop at the Cliff Lodge.  It is a hand-carved water buffalo head from Indonesia!
