Saturday Travalon and I went hiking at New Glarus Woods
State Park with Richard Bonomo and Kathbert and, of course, Travalon’s loyal
poodle Rodney. Rich had to be somewhere, so he and Kathbert took a shortcut,
but Travalon and I hiked the whole path, which was over four miles long. Rodney
was tired afterwards, but he wasn’t smiling like after our hike at Devil’s
Lake. Then Travalon and I met Cecil Markovitch, one of the B-Boys, and Trinidad
Cap at Greek Fest. Usually there is a band playing and lots of people dancing,
but the weather was so cold, and then it began to rain, that everyone was
either inside or under the tent set up for diners. We all tried the Greek
sampler, and Travalon bought an order of deep-fried dough bits in honey for us
all to share. Then we went down into the Greek Orthodox Church’s basement,
where parishioners were selling all sorts of baked goods. We had Greek coffee
(just like Turkish coffee) and some baklava and stuff… and then they gave us
another order of the deep-fried dough bits in honey – for free! Cecil said
maybe if we waited around long enough, they would give us leftover meat from
the Greek samplers, but that didn’t happen. Too bad we didn’t get to dance at
Greek Fest this year, but it was a good time anyway.

Rodney was still happy to get out for a day of hiking- he always is ! I think he was just kind of tired as he hadn't slept much the night before having that awful itch( which went away after he licked his paw half the night, thank goodness) and the unexpected chilly and damp weather may have gotten to him. Well, he is almost 14 too, not getting any younger, but his energy for his age is still amazing! I think those Greek honey puffs are called something like Louminades
