Thorsten,
I take each of my children up Half Dome when they turn 13. It became a tradition years ago. I thought I was done with the trail last year when the youngest went up but then my girl's group decided to hike it (for the second time - we did it 10 years ago). I always wanted my children to know that they could over come fears. Whatever is before them can be passed on because it is dangerous or unfeasible but not because of fear that they can't.
It is a beautiful hike all the way. You climb past two waterfalls and through a beautiful high country meadow before even getting to the rock itself. The top is a different story for me. It has stunning views but I admit to getting vertigo and I have to just sit and take it in. That's the part that scares me!
How have you been? Do you plans to travel soon?
Eire

Na das war aber schön wieder mal von dir zu lesen.
Danke mir gehts soweit gut ich habe mich gut eingelebt ins neue Berufsleben und bin täglich am strampeln um weiterzukommen.
In meiner Familie steht der nächste Nachwuchs an, im Oktober kommt nr3 ;-).
Life goes on and on, ohne dass wir daran etwas ändern können, es geht einfach darum jeden moment zu geniessen.
Wünsche einen schönen Herbst und ich hoffe dass der Winter noch nicht grad sofort kommt, schnee erwarte ich nicht vor Dezember ok vielliecht schon mal im November.

Hi Thorsten
Actually this is one of the mileposts I do watch now and again. I noticed the 4m myself today and put something on Open Board. I had not seen your message or I probably should not have blown my own trumpet!
Thanks for your well wishes, it was a bit of a surprise, to be honest. Sometimes you spend so much time chatting with members, that you don't notice the points going up. But I have really enjoyed sharing my travel experiences and hopefully I can continue.

Thank you very much for signing my guestbook and even more thanks for looking at my Vietnam Slide show.
I have done a lot of travel in the past 12 months or so and hopefully will find the time to write about those trips and illustrate them with the pictures that I have taken. I also look forward to catching up with all my fellow Globo’s travel pages too.
just had a look at your 'Henne Strand' slide show, which I enjoyed very much. Great sunsets. Reminds me of holidays spent in Romo when I was young.
And isn't the light in Denmark just the best to take photos!?
