Walk Like a Tiroler

Well, this post was supposed to show up the day after my last one, but it didn't take...
 
We went up into the mountains today.  Of course, Gabi and Christoph would laugh to hear me say this--to them we did an "easy" hike into the foothills.  Easy for them is a very steep, breath catching path--steeper than Mount Si; easy for Seattlites is the gentle rolling trails of Couger Mountain.
 
The road to the trailhead went through the sweetest village--the type of place that proved we ain't in America any more:  narrow streets flanked by classic Tirolian houses, bakeries tucked away, goats and sheep in little fields lining the road. After the "easy" climb we had bread, cheese and salami overlooking the glorious valley.  Even sleeping in the sun had a nice European feel to it :-) 
 
Today was a brilliant sunny day.
 
Tonight we cook for them.  My Indian vegetables are still not ready--they don't quite smell as I am used to when I normally cook them.  We had to improvise with the BBQ sauce for the pulled pork as they don't have this sort of thing here.  We shall see if our hosts pleased--or pained--as they eat.
 
I am starting to talk like a person who speaks English as a second language--simply and with a funny accent. 
 
My love, what you think I am sexy?
