Skiing the Andes

Allen took his 12-year-old twin granddaughters to Baraloche, the ski capital of Argentina where they slept in a remote mountain cabin 5,000-feet up in the snow-covered Andes Mountains. For two weeks, the three of them cross-country skied the powdery Andes trails, snowshoed the snowy heights and downhill skied at Mount Cathedral. While skiing or hiking through the Andes they encountered red fox, carancho eagles, condors, giant redheaded Magellanic woodpecker and bushy red squirrels.

Walking Hadrian’s Wall

“This part of the Wall is 2,000-years old,” Allen told his wife and granddaughters as they stood by a section of Hadrian’s Wall in Newcastle, England. They had come to walk the 80-mile long wall that the Romans built in AD 120 to protect their settlements in England from the Barbarians in the north. The Wall had mostly disappeared at both ends, but periodically they encountered the actual remains of the 10-foot thick, 15-foot high limestone wall. For 10 days they followed the Wall up and down hills with steep, craggy cliffs and beside picturesque lakes filled with ducks and swans. At the end of the rugged walk, granddaughter Jessica exclaimed, “I’m so proud that I finished the whole walk. I’m going to have my shoes bronzed!”
