Gisteren thuisgekomen van een weekje klimmen in Saint-Léger. Mooi weer en leuke vrienden. Dit was een weekje welverdiende rust (en toch stevige training voor Celine) na de hele zomer lang alle vrije tijd in de organisatie van de wereldbeker te hebben gestopt.

My family cut and pasted a special poster to celebrate the world champion.
