the pounders perish
it worked out that we got second place overall, but walked away with no prizes. in our heat we lost to the overall winners, which meant that even though other teams had longer times than us, if they won in their heat, they still got prizes. we got nothing. and we were about a quarter inch from the fill line of our glass. soooooo close! but we had a good time and the money went to a good cause. but boy were we exhausted! two minutes of grape stomping is sooooo much harder than a half hour at the gym. my goodness!

What color are your feet today?

yeah, the losers had to drink their juice. no, not really. our feet recovered quickly, they were just a little sticky. i don't quite know how wine gets so intensely red when the skins aren't really that deep red.

I've been to grape stomps, but never did the stomping myself. It looks fun! Congratulations on second place. Woo!
