Well it is a lovely day in Oberstdorf today. About 75 degrees and sunny, much better than yesterday's deluge of rain. They are having a curling contest at 2 of the 3 rink's so we get to skate in the main arena which is lovely. Carolina Kostner is here, but I have only seen her working out on land not ice. Should be fun.

Ooh, there's good stroking exercise--just chase Carolina around the ice on a freestyle session and try not to fall behind, LOL!
Enjoy your beautiful day and beautiful ice, and please have a beer for me!

Is that how the weather is expected to be? I haven't googled the weather in a few days and haven't finished packing yet. Get the ice all ready for the rest of us. I don't arrive until Wednesday afternoon (as long as the travel gods cooperate).

Are you the first to arrive? Have a lovely time, and see you on Monday or Tuesday week!

Quite a lot of your opposition is competing today, so think of us!

It looks like a few more sunny days but rainy from Friday - Sunday. I am actually not the first one here a few skaters came in on the 13th or 14th for the early camp. I am doing the camp this weekend and then going to Munich to visit a doctor who is a colleague of my hip surgeon on Monday. I am still taking it easy...no chasing Carolina for me!

Hi Ms. Redboots, tell everyone I say hello in Tallin!

I don't always know "who's who" among our members, but the Oberstdorf, Germany news item is online at the USFSA site:
