Where the Hills Are Alive: A Weekend in Vorarlberg

I was more or less stuck at home last week working on a paper that's due tomorrow. I'm still working on it but I really needed a break so I started going through some of my pictures from Austria. That's when I realized that I never posted about the weekend I spent in Vorarlberg. A group of friends and I went to Ebnit in Vorarlberg to spend a weekend in the mountains last year in September. It was great!

We rented a house/apartment for the weekend and went for a hike on Saturday. Since we all had to work Friday, we only arrived at the house in the evening and immediately got around to filling the fridge and making dinner.

Our home for the weekend.

Good women in the kitchen making dinner.

Our fridge with the main staples: beer, wine, and milk.

The first night was spent with dinner, drinking, and playing Activity Club Edition. None of my friends will ever forget this game. 69.

This is one of the least compromising pictures of that night. Let's leave it at that. 

The next morning, slightly hungover and tired, we headed out bright and early with supplies, i.e. cans of beer, to go for a hike. We were really lucky with the weather and could enjoy the sunshine the whole day.

Here are some pictures of our hike:

So many places to go to...

Those are our shadows right there.

Our (almost) complete group.

On the way "home". 

It was definitely a beautiful hike. Two days later, back at work, I started feeling my sore muscles. Worth it, though.

That evening, we decided to barbecue and enjoy the sunny September evening. A lot more alcohol was consumed and a lot more compromising pictures were taken. However, those shall remain private so here's one last look at the beautiful surroundings and the cows we partied with:

They're not Party Cat but they lived up to the occasion.

And on that note...
