It turns out that amidst an unlimited collection of other creative skills, Jay's been harboring a talent for comic art. He whipped these up after an excruciatingly long hike in Italy's Dolomite Mountains, which we took at the persuasive insistence of our second Work Away host.
A little background to set the scene here: we left for this hike at 8:30 in the morning -- we returned at 5:00pm. There were some super janky bikes involved, which sounded like dying elephants when you clutched the breaks. (No helmets to offset this anxiety, of course...) We began our ascent around 10:00, and we continued at a continuous incline for 3 straight hours, with the slope only steepening as we moved toward the sun. The rifugio at the summit which was supposed to reward our toils with cold beer ended up being closed for the season. The steep descent almost wrecked my knees. There was cookie bribery. There were tears. There was an inordinate amount of sass coming from my side of the trail.
And thus, there was this:
Ha Ha Ha....loved this!
