i fell at deux alpes, snowboarding. i still maintain this is the best way to injure oneself gravely, though really shouldn't have gone boarding that day as i'd blacked out in the morning. also i highly recommend snow sports close to grenoble as michallon hospital is the best bone hospital in europe, as its the closest to 200 ski resorts. nhs consultants have told me outright i would not have the use of my arm that i do if it wasn't for the awesomeness of my surgeon. am seriously considering moving back there as it needs another operation.
the tree is up in the spanish pyrenees, as is the rock face, a most beautiful part of the world. though i think the rockies are slightly more impressive, very majestic.
