Lantern Hike!

So the lantern hike was like a few weeks ago, but it was still so fun that I have to update on it. We took a bus to Igles, the same town where the lake is. From there, we got to carry lanterns up the mountain. Liz and I decided that we definitely have to get back into kickboxing because we were struggling up that mountain. It was a straight incline to the top. It took about 30 minutes to the top (or where we were going). At the top, there was a bar/restaurant with a great view. We didn’t bring our cameras because we didn’t want to carry them, so I stole these pictures from John. Liz and I had beers and popsicles and then they made us all go upstairs into a tiny room. The owner of the place played the guitar and one of his friends played the accordion. Apparently this place is known for its schnapps, so everyone was ordering rounds of those. One of our teachers really likes his schnapps. We decided he is kind of a creep, not in a I’m going to Vandersloot you kind of way, but in a I stick my tongue out when I’m yodeling and look like a creep kind of way. It was fun though because they did different skits and played songs. For one skit, Valerie (a girl in our program) and I had to pretend that we knew the words to the “song of Innsbruck” and sing/yodel with them. Liz tried to tell me my "boyfriend" (the 50 year old accordion player) looked like my dad. I think it was the mustache, but don't worry Dad, I told her you were much better looking than this guy. Liz had to pretend like she was doing some sort of wedding dance with Wilson. All in all, a good time. The way down was much more fun than the way up. Liz and I sang songs from John's Ipod. One girl also ate it on the way down, but as much as Liz and I like to laugh at people falling down, it sounded like it really hurt. You can evaluate from the pictures pretty much all of the above.
