The Springs
Every time we started for the mountains we had for hydration but empty bottles. As weird as it might sound nowadays, with all the theories about the need of humans to consume a certain amount of liquids a day, we always carried empty bottles with us.

The Beauty of Mine and the Jeep
The beautiful girl of mine dreamt about a car, a naughty one that can surpass the mountains, through the snow, through muds and rough terrain like the horse of a mythical hero.
