Fallera!

Warren C and Dad are pretty good at keeping up the pace on the trails in the nearby forests by singing the old Swedish tribal song "Vi gå över daggstänkta berg - fallera!". (Tribal songs are songs proclaimed to be of national interest "to instill patriotic duty in our youth in accordance with His Majesty's will", as it says in the Swedish public school ordinance from 1943.) Regardless of hiking pace, it is now getting colder. So our choice of clothing has changed. The top three images are from our hike in mid-September. The bottom pictures are from today's little journey.  We're using double layers of wool (underwear and wool sweater, wool turtleneck and thick wool socks to keep warm. And of course - some hot chocolate in the thermos!

Gearing up for a hike in September. WC gets hydrated with a Mer fruit drink.

Piggy-back riding, dressed in a sun hat, jeans and some Wellies to keep dry.

Ready to go! Dad in his lumberjack plaid shirt.

Keeping warm on the trail. The fall wind made the hike fairly chilly.
