Miguel's new and favorite sport... Ski. Bishop's bowl is located in Sundance, Utah. With a vertical drop of 2,150 feet and elevation level of 8,250 feet, Sundance offers a vast diversity of terrains, including one of the finest intermediate-expert bowls in the Wasatch range called Bishop's Bowl. With Mount Timpanogos signaling its beauty in the distance. Sundance receives an average of 320 inches of snow a year. 450 acres of pristine wilderness beckoning skiers to powder paradise. Sundance is owned by actor and director Robert Redford.

Mainz is a the home of the Gutenberg-Museum.The world changed with Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, one of the first books printed in Europe was the Bible plublished in Mainz by him. The "Biblia Latina" of 48 lines per page of 1462, was printed in Mainz by Gutenberg's partners shortly after the first edition, it considered the most beautiful of the first 4 printed bibles, was printed in 48 lines instead of 42 of the first version and in beautiful Gothic characters. An original copy of the rare bible is at the "Biblioteca Joanina" of the Coimbra University.
