1978

Between my company's and our riding stable's christmas parties on Friday and today I went to Austria for the 30th birthday of my old mate Steffi. After riding the Alpine Coaster (a kind of roller coaster in the snow) we went up the mountain above Bludenz to party in a very scenic mountain hut of the ski club.

Tony and Steffi filled the guests with delicious local food and drinks,...

...local friends guided a torchlight procession...

Just before crawling in our sleeping bags Tony and me escorted Steffi circling around the hut barefooted in the snow, which seems to be a local tradition when getting 30 without being married, at least somebody told her to do so. :)

In the morning I hiked back to the cableway enjoying the nice mountain panorama.

What a great short vacation in the mountains. Living here does not look like bad idea.
