Snow & Skiing in Sardina!
So it's Mardi-Gras time here, and lots of festivities are going on around our Island! We decided to take advantage of the festive spirit and spend the weekend at the nearby mountains where there was said to be TONS of snow! And it was true! We couldn't believe our eyes when we got up there! A truly different sight from what we're used to (beaches and all). The town we stayed in is called Fonni and is about 15-20 minuets from the Ski slopes we were going to!
From the sea to snow!
We really couldn't believe there was so much snow, it was like 4 feet!
Don't I look goofy!

Of course I had to make a snowman/woman.
We're still debating on the gender since I gave it a lip enhancement! ;-)
It even started to snow heavily in the afternoon!

Friends Giulia, Giacomo & Diego
Our snow gear was really retro! I mean c'mon! we NEVER get this much snow here, so all of our stuff was like from the 70's and 80's. It was really funny to see everyone pull out their "best" outfit!

But I think Antonio wins with his fuchsia boots!
The slopes
Beautiful views from the slopes
Me, myself & I... proving I was really there!
And a video of me coming down the slope! OLD Ski lift
Us
On our way back we stopped in a town called Mamoiada (mam-o-ee-ada). Their festivities are famous around the Island for good food and fun! And it was!
Their typical costume for Mardi-Gras is called Mamuthones (Mamu-tone-es), pre-Christian traditional masquerades dating back more than 2,000 years. The mystery around their origins makes them even more respected and loved.

Sunday Stroll
This last beautiful Sunday, we went for a stroll to Masua, and old mining town, to see some friends and have a BBQ lunch!
This is what they see from their home...
Good friends & good times! (Julia with P-Chan the cat)
BBQ Masters! Diego & Matt.
Some of the grub!
Just thought it was beautiful!
Only 12 people live in this tiny old and abandoned mining town and there are few buildings to go with it!
What was once the local snack bar.
Just gotta love this dog! How can you not!
Time has stopped, or actually, we've gone back in time to the 70's again. Just sitting on the curb watching the guys go down-hill on their long-skate boards....
I was able to put some of my (very little) photography skills to work...
I thought this sign on the snack bar was cute!
interesting uh?
