Pack your boots!

I just got back from a nice two day stay at the guest house. It was a lot of fun, especially for a city boy like me. Besides a nice place to rest with a very warm bed, there are numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures. Situated on a small country road, adjacent to a river, be prepared for some outside fun. Having only dress clothes, I borrowed some boots and went on an enjoyable hike along the river with the host and four dogs. The walk included seeing some abandoned houses, some cows and bulls as well as hoping over some fences, one with barbed wire! Quite an adventure for someone whose typical travel problems don’t get any worse than trying to figure out how to turn the shower on. Besides the hiking, there are also some farm animals to visit, including horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I got to try to start a fire in the fireplace, which more or less worked.  However, the best part of the stay has to be the meals and hospitality provided by the host family. Great people, lots of fun. I hope to visit again, but this time I’m packing some more suitable clothes for the outside.
