The little "greeter" at the entrance to the Susjoen Cafe.
Caleb, hard to miss coming or going, in his unmistakeable NH ski wear.
More freshman boys showing their New England Style: Keith and Evan appreciating local art in Lillehammer.
Slowly falling wisps and an overcast sky, combined with cool temps and flat light was enough to make most of the team take an "easy" day of 20km or so. But for David and Caleb it was a day to explore the upper limits of their "bonk" meters . . . They both did long tours up north - similiar routes to what the rest of the boys had taken the day before - David perhaps winning the high-kilometer prize of the day (mostly by doing what he called "not looking at the map, just skiing straight through intersections", thus getting himself lost several times). Up to Hornsjo via a wandering route, and across to Pallastova, where, he admitted, he was absolutely spent. From there he still had a good 25 km to get home . . . .
Both boys made it home just after 5, heading straight for the food cupboard and then to the couch.
Meanwhile, outside, Robbie, Kapala, and Maddy were busy little tunnelers: their mission was to shovel a great tunnel to China - or at least through to the top of the 15 foot snow burm outside the cabin . . .
