2 girls, 2 hound dogs and a map




Earlier in the week, I suggested to Eva that we go for a bike ride. She suggested an alternative plan, hiking in the Black Forest. Of course I agreed so we set out on Saturday morning for a 19km hike with her 2 dogs. We hiked from Oberrot to Bad Herrenalb. The guide book said it would take 5 hours and only the first 2.5 would be strenuous as it was all uphill. In reality it took 6.5 hours and the first 3.5 hours were uphill. The views were amazing but it was exhausting. Today my glutes are sore but I feel relaxed. Soon I will be ready for another adventure with Eva.

What's the craic? Part IV

While in Ireland I saw my first Gaelic football match. It is a combination of soccer and rugby. I was quite impressed with the brutality and foul language. I don't understand all the rules but I do know it is illegal to kick another guy in the head. See the video. Cound the number of times they yell the word "bollocks".
