Vermont Part Two

That night we went to an Irish restaurant, the Ri Ra Irish Pub & Dining Restaurant. What an awesome place and nice atmosphere. The music, which was live has that irish influence. April was totally in her environment cause she is half Irish half Latina, wow you just can fall in love with that feisty woman! Of course, we didn’t leave until we had those amazing irish ales that was recommended by someone in the Hildene Estate! And let me tell you, it is worth the travel to enjoy this place!

The following day, we went to a ski resort where we booked a training session! April, Mika and I wanted to be like Shaun White “The Flying Tomato” and learn how to snowboarding! The others wanted to use the regular ski. The place was The Bromley Ski Resort, that was about 2 hrs north from where we were staying. Once in there the temperature was like minus 15 degrees! Good thing that we followed my aunts advise and put like three layers of clothing and one skiing-type of coat and three thick sox!!! Let me tell you, once in there, you understand why the skiing coats have those bright multi-colored looks! However, once you start wearing the skis and slide in the snow, it’s a major exercise fitness program! Halfway thru the day, we stop a little to muchin a little in the cafeteria, drinking Hot Chocolate and enjoy the adventure. At the beginning you buy a ID ticket that has three different colors: Green, Blue, and Black. Each one tells you what type of passage way in the mountain you can go. Green is if you are a rookie (if its your first time), Blue is if you have experience but you are not proficient, and Black is if you are pro or you have experience going in every terrain (cause some areas have a snow and ice or are rocky ice-y). We have sucha blast that we’ll do it again in a heart beat!

At night we went to this Japanese restaurant, Koto Japanese Steakhouse. The ambience was super and the food was extremely fresh. Since it was a bit full, we went to the sushi bar first. We had combination platters that had great variety between sushi and sashimi, there was one that was “Love Boat for two” that immediately April and I said at the same time, for which we both laugh hard and the gang was like saying that “love was in the air”, heheheeh. Then after eating and sharing our sushi platters, we went to the hibachi table where our chef was waiting for us. He was awesome, doing the incredible entertainment we would expect of this kinda food. Plus he did the usual volcano and some flips flops that fell in our plates that got us into the “how he did that” kinda state of mind! We tasted the sake and with our belly’s full we were totally happy with the night.

Cant wait until planning out another adventure, but definitely the gang agree that we could repeat again the trip up north to Vermont cause we truly got Freedom and our group became more tightly united!
