I completely forgot to share our incidents with wild animals. Couple of days ago Till, Dough and I went for a run/hike in the tundras of Telluride. Miles and miles of wild Sage made the run feel like a healing tread and on the way we discovered the only two neighbor houses up in the mountains. My mind was drawn to the fact that our surrounding belonged to the animal kingdom. One part of me wanted to see mountain lions and bears and the other part signalised vulnerability. So the only proof of wild creatures shown to us was a very clear foot print of mountain lions, let me tell you they were huge. After our discovery I ran faster and the boys enjoyed there activated hunting instincts which I think are stronger embedded in there genes.
The other incident happened right after saying good by to Dough in front of the mansion. In about 100 m distance we could see a black bear walking away from us. I jumped of my bike, grabbed my camera and walked towards the bear but suddenly I didn't like my voyeuristic behaviour after discovering that the bear must have been injured because of his limping. I felt a strong need to help him or her. But how??
We made it down the mountain on difficult gravel roads and sharp 360 degree turns without dropping the bikes and left the lushes paradise behind us.
Talking about dropping, I accidentally dropped my camera about 3 weeks a ago while riding 70 miles/hour on the road. As it fell out of my hand and towards the ground I used my kickboxing techniques and kicked the camera away from the road into the grass. Please not to try at home!!!!
It is a miracle almost all pix shown on our blog were taken with our bandaged Sony Cyber- Shot UC-TA.
So tomorrow we will meet our lovely friends Aaron and Kate in Sedona/Flagstaff for a couple of days and I am sure the visit will provide us the next adventure series.
Again it is time for my beauty sleep.
Ciao

Where are the updates and photos? Is the trip still going?
Was fürn Video mit Unterwäsche und wieso sind noch keine neuen Bilder da? Mir wär das Video auch recht. Hamburg ist momentan so, als befände man sich im original im Pisspott Gottes. Und ins Haus regnets fröhlich rein... Viele küsse, Amelie
