I was so nervous about needing to skate close to the sidelines, with doubts that my body could not handle spills the way it used to years and years ago, but after a couple of hours, I started to gain my confidence and get back in touch with atrophied skills. This skating rink reminded me of the one I used to frequent up north in my youth ... sure brought back memorable times ... :)
I brought my cheapie camera, afraid that one tumble would ruin my prized one. I blurred out the girl to the side (probably too much) and changed the tones:
Me and my girlfriend from work:
This is Hank who has been skating at this rink for 20 years. He saw us taking pictures and insisted we take his in this position ... couldn't disappoint the guy, could I? He was very nice, and tried to give us pointers, lol.
So no profound pictures today, only ones that document what I did today that was enjoyable :)
Oh my gosh! This so brings back the days of my skating days! I lived for skating...I was even president of the skateclub,lol!
ReplyDeleteI skated until I was 19yrs old when someone stole my skates and the case my brother got me for christmas out of the backseat of my car. I've tried rollerblading but it's not the same and I have NEVER fallen on rollerskates but took a bad fall last year on rollerblades. :(
You just MUST take me there! :)
And by the way...that pic of you is cute as can be and the pic of the guy, so funny!
Skating OMG! The word instantly brings to mind the song "you dropped the bomb on me". Wow! So long ago. I am glad you enjoyed yourself:)
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm half as flexible as that guy... when I'm his age kiss kiss
