Busy weekend~

This is the Light House in York Beach. It is so pretty, like the view in the fairytale.

I was standing on the summit of Mt.Major, see the big frozen lake in front of me, it is frozen Lake Winnepesaukee. My hand was freezing when I held my camera.

The whole last week was quite busy for me, especially weekend. Excited for being back to NH, I wanted to hang around everywhere; making plans for Boston, Chicago, Portland; watching movies; going to concert at Rochester Opera House; and etc.

I went to Lake Winnepesaukee (NH) with my friend last Saturday, it was so pretty cause the lake was completely frozen. We could walk there and see the holes digged for fishing. Fish houses were built on the surface of the lake, and some people tried to land private helicopter on the lake. It is so pretty. Imagine the whole big lake become frozen, cool~ Then we drove to Mt. Major for hiking. According to the weather forecast, it should be partly cloudy that day, and when we left the lake, it was still sunny, so we thought it would be a nice day for hiking. We parked the car, and followed the trail to the top of the mountain. Mt. Major: 1124 ft. and the trail: 4 miles. At the beginning, everything was nice: weather was sunny, trail was quite flat covered with thick snow, we were energetic. Well, life wasn't always easy. When we got close to the top, it started snowing with huge wind, until we got to the summit, it was actually snow storm. However, the view was so pretty on the top, we could see the whole view of Lake Winnepesaukee. If it was sunny, I wouldn't want to leave the summit: mountains covered with snow, and a whole frozen big lake under you. Amazing~

It took us nearly 4 hours to finish the whole trail, and after we went back to the parking lot, we were totally wet and exhausted. I like hiking, but I never go hiking during the snow. It was a nice experience, but you need courage to do that, cause on our way back to the bottom, the trail became so steep and slippery. I fell down several times, but it was fun.

Yesterday, the weather was so pretty, so I went to York Beach to see the Light House. It wasn't that cold, but when you got close to the ocean, it was quite windy. Walking in the beach was one of my favorite activities. I always feel I am close to my friend on the other side of Atlantic Ocean when I walk in the beach here, imagine her Piggy Zoo. Light House was so pretty under the sunshine. As the tide wasn't high at this time of the year, some people climbed up to the Light House. I wanted to try that too, but I haven't recovered from Saturday's exhausting hiking, and my legs were still pain. I tried to climb a little bit, but finally gave up.

It was a great weekend, but now my whole body pains, especially my legs. Without doing excises for quite a while, I did too much last whole week. I shouldn't be that excited. Maybe I don't have much time to be in this country, I want to do everything within a very short period of time, and bring the whole NH back with me. The weather here was always changing recently. Before I wrote this post, it was sunny, now it is snowing heavily. Funny weather, and exhausted Yinster.
