So, I almost fell off of a mountain in Montreal this afternoon.  Mont-Royal to be specific.  I went hiking with a friend up to the top to see the city below, which was very cool and very beautiful.  We decided to take a different way down than the one we took up.  That was the first of several successively poor decisions.  The next was deciding to leave the walking trail for a bike trail, thinking it might take us down to the bottom faster.  We got about 1/4 of the way down, and then got stuck.  It was too steep to continue going down.  Yet, it was almost too steep to get back up.  For a while there, I thought our hiking adventure was going to turn into a camping adventure.  We ended up scaling back up to the top (SO thankful the roots didn't come out of the ground), and then finding our way back to the bottom eventually.

Needless to say, I'm a bit exhausted.  Glad I have the night off!
