July 27th: Ski jumping is not for us!

We took our breakfast on the balcony of our lodge room - my half banana nut muffin tasted gorgeously.
Today we decided to empty our packs and send some of our stuff ahead to St. George. Sofie's wardrobe is now down to what is normal for a bicycling trip in the mountains. I also went to the post office (those post cards we still have to send) where a lady inquired about our trip. We are meeting more and more people who are interested in what we are doing out here. She taught me how to pronounce Kamas, our next destination, and she also told me about a great burger place there.
The Olympic Park was 6 miles back on yesterday's route, but this time we cycled on the bike path - giving us the chance for more steep hills (short ones). At the Olympic Park, there were people jumping of the ski jumps into a basin of water. It looked fun, but I think I'd be too scared to do this. There were some jumpers from the Australian National Team jumping from the highest one, making summersaults in the air. AWESOME, dude! On our bus tour we were guided by Carl, a guy who is going to help out at the next winter olympics in Vancouver. We had the chance to meet Lisa... one of the best Olympians of the USA team to come. On the tour we saw the bobsled and luge run (one bobsled did the run when we were there), we stood at the bottom of the ski jumps, we stood at the top of the ski jumps (You can not see where you will land!)
Back in Park City we rode a chair lift up and down one of the mountains: wasn't it a bit scary when we hung there high in the air, not knowing when the lift would start again, the wind blowing around us...
Park City itself is a neat ski town. It wasn't too busy now, but I can imagine this being a great ski resort. I even got an offer to pay 40 dollars ahead and recieve two nights free...
So whoever thinks of skiing in Utah... I've got the address where your ski stuff is being handled by someone else and where you can linger in a spa for hours! They want you out here!
