My friends Danilo and Noemie invited me to go for a walk around this one mountain and for lunch a a nearby lake. I had never been there so I said sure. We started going for this walk... well boy oh boy was I in for a surprise... our walk was very, VERY steep! apparently our "walk" was more of a hike... so we're going and my calves are hurting... I had not prepared myself psychologically for a hike, so I'm dealing with it, when I see this sign that says Lago 2.10, so I think it means 2 Kilometers.... then after about half an hour I see another sign that says 1.45, and I turn to Danilo and ask if that means kilometers... and he laughs and says no.... so I suddenly have this horrible suspicion that it is measuring the TIME to get to the lake and not the DISTANCE, I ask him about this and he says that I am correct!!!!!!!! The first 40 minutes was up a steep slope, after that it was farily flat with some slight uphill slopes... then the last 20 minutes was a steep slope again... if I had known this, I would have prepared myself for it! We go to the lake, rested/ate lunch for about 45 minutes, then started our 1 1/2 hour walk back to the car (Always takes longer to get somewhere than it does to get back) .... isn't that crazy!!!!!!!
I AM SOOOOO SORE!!!!! My legs and ass hurt like crazy and my arms are starting to hurt too!!!
On the plus side though the lake was half frozen over.... I had never seen something like that before.... one half was normal water and then somewhere down the lake you notice the water change and it becomes ice.... very cool!
