The Mysterious Path and other adventures

Another warm day, and another day for a nice walk in the surrounding country with my sister. I call this walk, "The Mysterious Path and other adventures."

We (Heather and I) began our walk, very content, enjoying the fresh air, and ready to find adventure...

Adventure found us. Hmmmm, a small deserted path. Perhaps it is a short cut? Whatever it is, we will find out! And so we embarked on our journey up the over grown path through the woods.

We were so near the end of the path when we found it covered in stinging needles, oh no what will we do now *gasp* but I faced the foreboding plants to see what was on the other end while Heather wisely watched. The path came out in the middle of a strange farm. Our journey was over and we slipped (literally) back down the path to the main road. My only wound from the adventure was one sting from the needles. Later we discovered that the "strange farm" was actually a familiar farm that I just happened to see from a different side.

(on a clear day you can see the alps through that fog in a long stretch as far as the eye can see)

We continued up a hill with no trees. The sun beat down on our "glistening" forms toiling up the hill. We suddenly got the desperate desire to drink some water... searching... searching, no water!!! We didn't bring any and couldn't find a fountain any where! Our thirst only grew as the sun beat more fiercely and we cooked in the sun like two little helpless sausages frying in a pan, perhaps not the best metaphor. Yet we persevered onward!

(that is the "cross." I was there when I took the pictures for my last post.)

We saw our town in the distance, we are getting closer to the cool house and... WATER!!!

This is our town, walking down our main road there is our house in the distance, we are coming closer!!!

Home sweet home, the wonderful holder of all cool liquids, we have reached your door step and are ready to enter and partake of the refreshment of water...

At last our quest is complete, we have reached water and a cool house. No more sausage sizzling and dehydrating, as pleasant as the walk was, we were very glad for the comfort of home. No one can tell me now that water has no taste, it is delicious! Now that I have ended that exciting adventure, where else can I go?
