Waiting for everyone to arrive at the designated meeting place. We took so long to get started that Joan only got to get about a two-second look at the waterfall before she had to run back for a meeting!
Erin points something or someone out.
Guyish randomness (David, Peter and Dan)
Random pictures can be funny... what is everyone doing? (David, Dan, Peter, Joan, Erin, Alyssa)
Getting off to a good start... nice dancing Ryan!
Houses are cool out here.
Heading up into the hills.
Homes out here are just so homey and friendly looking! I wish American homes all had flowers spilling out of window-boxes too!
Looking chipper on the way in! (Mazel, Erin, Alyssa, David, Ryan, Thomas)
Just to give you an idea of the size of the waterfall... those are people down there, and I still couldn't get the whole waterfall in one picture!
Everyone is shocked by the frigid water. (Dan, ?, Anna, Peter)
Anna wanted a picture of herself standing under the water, but someone got in the way. Getting the shot as she leaped away from the downpour was the next best thing...
Fresh mountain spring water... mm, mm good!
Italian Little Mermaid?
Me on The Rock.
I was climbing up the path while these guys were taking a breather at the bench... made for an interesting perspective.
Thomas finishes his contemplation on the cold waterfall.
I actually dunked all the way under the water... no photographic evidence has turned up, but it is true.
Tramping home through the mountainous terrain... this is before the fake man-overboard scare...
On a little bridge over a creek.
Peter and Anna.
Dan rocking on a roadside bench... what a funny guy!
The men skipping around while bellowing out a moving rendition of "I am 17 going on 18, I'll take care of you!"
Shortly after this it really started to pour. The wind gusted, the treetops bent and cold droplets pelted us, but nothing deterred us from our fun! Dan drew inspiration from his seemingly endless supply of hilarious jokes, everyone sang everything and anything from the Sound of Music and other fun flicks (be a man!), we ran, skipped and marched through the puddles and across the streets of Gaming until our safe return home in high spirits and wet clothes. We went straight to the Mensa to get in a quick dinner before it closed, ran to our rooms to change, and headed off to an evening watching the Sound of Music in preparation for the coming weekend's trip to Salzburg. Overall, one of my fondest memories of Austria... so far.
