I have a friend who is currently hiking in the French Alps. He's a co-worker, actually, and sends each of us in our team a postcard periodically to keep us updated on his progress. It's amazing how amusing he can be in such a short amount of space:

Bonjour (Team)!
So here's the challenge: we have only a 3-4 hour walking day today, ending at the petite cameau (?) shown on this card (and the fact that they have cards suggests something about the tourist flow), and we arrive in time to partake in a grand luncheon, rather than the trail sandwich we acquired early this am. at last night's refuge; and we drink a whole bottle of wine AND have some digestifs to further complicate our thinking; and the sun is shining forcefully, and the view of the surrounding peaks is as clear as the wine will permit, and now what? Does the intrepid hiker (me) cave in to the physical pressure to nap? Or does the dutiful correspondent (me) choose to tough it out on an umbrella-less table to write an update postcard to those of you keeping the wheels of industry turning? The indecision has me paralyzed.
