Travelogue – Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe is an unfair representation of my experience last week in that I only witnessed the massive freshwater lake from afar halfway up a mountain and then close up at it’s edge, but in the absolute dead of night.

We actually stayed about about 40 minutes from the lake near a historic railroad town called Truckee, about 1,000 feet further up the mountain at the quite recently opened Ritz Carlton Highlands resort.

The Ritz Carlton sits at the base of a mountain ski village called Northstar, at an elevation of 6,900 feet and is an imposing castle-like property that has its very own gondola ride that navigates 1,000 feet down the mountain to the Northstar village, a relatively new pedestrian complex that is dominated by an ice skating rink and has plenty of winter sport shops to wander plus the obligatory Starbucks.

Give us a goal

I am Coral Gables today. Just a short run from Miami airport, where I got in late last night from Lake Tahoe. I fly back to Bermuda later after I catch up on some work and have a walk around the charming streets of Coral Gables and get some lunch.

As expected George Țucudean said farewell today to Charlton and has moved on a 18-month loan to Steau Bucharest to “win trophies,” which to be fair he has more likelihood in doing bearing in mind Steau have won the league 25 times and the cup 21 times.

Late last night I arrived in Lake Tahoe in California after a long day of travelling. I am here until Thursday, er working…. it says here.

The week consists of early morning advisory boards and late afternoon breakout sessions, but in between times is reserved for winter sport activities, but Lake Tahoe hasn’t seen snow since the end of December and I think I am going to get more use out of sun lotion than snow boots.
