Flying Ninjas

No, it's not the title of the new Jackie Chan movie. It's better than that. Before Greece we spent a week in the mountains for our annual get together with other team members. It was great to escape the heat and get together with friends for lots of fun in the mountain sun. We even got to see rain, something we haven't seen in over 4 months. Since the hotel is a ski resort in the winter there are obviously ski lifts that take people up the mountain. Even though it was summer, they opened the lifts for us to go to the top on one of non-rainy days. However, by the time we got to the top we were surrounded by a cloud and so we weren't able to see anything below us. This was a big let down and we thought a waste of time and money, but God had something better in store. As we got back on the ski lift to head down the mountain we saw something ahead that caught our attention. Something all black ,coming our way. Was it the mafia? Or the militia? Coming to trap us while we were stuck on the mountain top. Thankfully not. It's was just a Middle Eastern man with his two children, followed by his 5 wives, all covered head-to-toe in their black ninja outfits. It's a sight we never thought we'd see, a ninja on a ski lift. I guess I've officially seen it all.
*author's note: Ninja is not a derogatory term. It's the only word used to describe all-covered-in-black women. Even the newspapers use it, and we know you can always trust the newspaper:)
