Home away from Home

MAY 2002
Visiting our Corinthian friends with my first car
My latest taxi - comfortable, swaying, and with an unobstructed view. Wonderful!
We are having a rest at the Winkler Alm, the Goldberg Group of mountains form the background.
For recuperative powers this gets a 10+
Giddy up!! Papi is a lazy old horse
Can you believe it?! They put me out to pasture in this place!
I hate this prickly greens stuff under my feet!
What does the funny guy want? What does it mean "you will go to sleep, you will go to sleep"?
You had better lift me out of this dumb grass!

August 2002

Meet my personal Sherpa prior to climbing the Hochalm in the Astental
The last few days of rain made the brook pretty wild...
...Careful ... very ... bad footing ... steady now...
.....We made it! But the fear is still written all over my face!!
Finally at the Hochalm with Alm-Nani. They have good Schnapps, good cold cuts, home made butter, bread, cheese and bacon. This is really something!
That snot nose of a Florian locked me into this enclosure!
Papa, of course, thinks he can sleep now just because he carried me around a bit. He has another thought coming. Hehe! wake up!!
After this tour I deserve a decent snack!
Oy veh! That bad ant actually bit me. Mama examines my wound very closely and hopes it was not a "poison ant". Papa only says "don't make a big fuss, it is not going to kill him". But did he ever get an ear-full from the two of us :)
Florian and Sonar at the "Lienzer" Chalet in the Debant Valley above Lienz in East Tyrol
