On Saturday Jamie and I had the chance to try curling over in Niagara Falls, Canada, with Susan and Anthony Santarosa for a hockey fundraiser. What a blast! And so easy to learn! Anthony was our skip and Jamie was our team building skillmaster. I used to laugh at this "sport" until I realized how much fun it truly is and how much skill is involved. The ice is not smooth but pebbled and the rock really travels a lot further and faster than you would think. They put tape on the bottom of one of our sneakers and that was our slider foot. The only thing is that if both people sweeping are right or left handed it gets a little messy. You have to be careful not to run the other person over while paying attention to what you are doing.
These pics were taken on Anthony's iPhone. Pretty good pics.
I just liked yelling "HARD" even when we weren't sweeping!
