We’re having a good time skiing in Obertauern, but the weather is kicking our butts. It’s negative 20C outside and the wind makes it even worse. Freezing cold sand-pebbles of snow pelting you in the face non-stop...

We found a great deal on a 4-night ski vacation to Obertauern, Austria, so we packed up our skis and off we went. Obertauern is another one of those fancy “must ski” resorts in Austria in the Salzburg...
Oliver turned two years old on February 14th. We had a party for him on the 18th. Our friends Christine and Elcid came over early to help us cook up tons of Filippino/Chinese food. Here we are preparing spring rolls (which as it...
