Attack of the Killer Cows

Ötztal

Do you think this cow looks cute?

Do you get all mushy and tingly when you look at these calves?

Well, you could not be more wrong.

These are Killer Cows, looking for their next victim, who turned out to be me. On our way to the Hochstubaihütte we saw these cute calves frolicking in the grass. As soon as they saw us, they start heading for us --- which seemed really cute at that moment. Then the whole herd turned towards us and started running! This was slightly less cute, and rather intimidating. After stupidly encouraging them by running away, and paying the price for it by falling down (and being sore for almost three weeks), we finally gained the upper hand again by shouting at these monsters.

The rest of today's trip was luckily less eventful. After going down 1000 meters, we had to climb 1200 meters, which is not too hard after 2 1/2 weeks of hiking.

And everything is forgotten and rosy again.

Halloween!

Halloween

Our neighborhood is really into Halloween. 

Halloween


Pictured above are Snow White and her father Iron Man as they are going out for Trick-or-Treat.
Father Iron Man was eyeing us suspiciously as we walked around (and took photos) without having kids of our own in tow ...


Halloween

Our favorite house in the neighborhood had a full grave yard, a tree full of ghosts, a witch coming out of well full of steam, and loads of gigantic moving spiders and spooky sounds.

Halloween

As our coworker's son sighed this morning "Too bad it isn't Halloween every day!"
