"Are you sure?"
It was just a late September holiday for Oktoberfest in Munich and a few days hiking in the Bavarian Alps . . . what could go wrong? When we left that morning it was quite nice . . . a person really didn’t need a jacket. Yet, as we got higher . . . well, see for yourself! It was at about this point that my hiking companion was questioning my taking him on this hike. Just left of center a red pole marking the route is barely visible . . . so we continued on. Not too much later the weather conditions worsened to the point that the poles were no longer easily spotted. Rather than press on, we decided to reverse course before the route back disappeared.
The Alps that surrounded us must have been beautiful . . . but this was one of the few images I took that day. We made it back just fine. We continued on to Munich for several days at Oktoberfest, where I was able to practice my German, “Eine Maß bier, bitte!” I was never misunderstood once! ;-)
