From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Clowning around

Every year April 1 is a big dress up day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. It's known as "Gaper Day" and the idea is to mimic the most ridiculous and absurd skiers who have showed up to Jackson over the years ... but the beauty of Gaper Day is that anything goes ...

My dear Auntie Kathe made me clown costume sized to be worn over ski clothes ... and I used Gaper Day to make its debut. What a hit! I was teaching ski school that day, and the kiddos just went wild ... "Look, it's a clown!!!!" All day long I honked my noise and smiled. One 3-year-old in particular just starred at me wide-eyed ... eventually his instructor brought him over "to meet the clown."
