I can’t say that this galaxy of itchiness that suddenly appeared on my back is Hash related. I do suspect it might have something to do with my daily propensity to be bathed in sweat though.
I woke up this morning again and that’s always a good thing. Especially when you are treated to a view like this one:
Maybe it’s good that I’m not a sailor, although so far at least the weather has been fine. Especially compared to yesterday.
The morning wasn’t perfect though as I noticed Budai had somehow injured her paw.
I hope it gets better soon. She did hobble along with me as I did the dog walk routine though.
So, this is my lazy Tuesday. I forego trying to get my steps in and just focus on getting my grocery shopping chore achieved and then taking it easy. Turns out I’m pretty good at that last part.
Royal didn’t fail to disappoint, still being out of some items I need and want. At least they have shredded cheese again. Provided you are willing to pay almost ten bucks for a bag that would cost me $3. back home.
With my shopping done I came home and realized it was time for a nap. I was gonna say no rest for the weary but I rested just fine thank you. I did wake up hungry though, so I ventured out to Sit-n-Bull to see what they might have on offer for the daily specials menu. Some good choices today and after some dithering, I selected the Salisbury steak.
It came with two sides as well. Of course, coleslaw was going to be one of them. The baked beans are always tasty too. A good hearty lunch!
Alright, that takes care of my comings and goings today. Here’s the report from yesterday’s Hash.
An okay, mostly flat 8k trail. Well, it was totally flat for me. About 30 minutes into the hike it started pouring down rain. Stopped raining after about 45 minutes, but the damage was done. If being soaked to the bone counts as damage. Anyway, wasn’t going to do the climb at the end in the muck and the mud.
Actually, it had rained most of the morning as well. Stopped a couple of hours before we started. That made for a lot of puddles and creeks flowing higher than normal. I knew before I left I’d have wet shoes before I was finished.
The starting point was in San Isidro which from Barretto is most easily accessed via Alta Vista. In fact, my house is technically within the jurisdiction of San Isidro. So, a group of us met up at my place to make our way to the start together.
Or as I jokingly refer to us as the Alta Vista Hash House Harriers.And we are On-On!A rare shot of Pubic Head actually LEADING the pack…See what I mean about the creeks?Luckily we found a bridge. And luckily it held up under the weight of us foreigners which appeared to exceed the design standards. One of the residents insisted we go one at a time and got no argument from us.We met the Hare’s (Banana Cock Bender and Pecker Checker) at the designated start point 15 minutes early only to discover everyone else had already left.Alright then let’s get started too!I walk this area pretty frequently so I was surprised to see that someone has opened a Korean market……right up this road. Um, not today, thanks!On we plodded. Or splashed.A couple of cookie deliveries along the way.Here you go, kiddos…Then we had the downpour so the phones got put away in the plastic bags we bring for such a contingency. Once the rain stopped photography resumed as normal. And yes, that’s the road and we did indeed need to wade through that muck.Water always finds a way, especially when aided by her old friend gravity.
So, we went around the mountain rather than over via the highway arriving at our On-Home venue, Hunter’s Jo Inn, safely.
Our waitresses and food selections. I’ll have the one on the right, please. Sorry sir, sold out. Damn it!The bay view……and the inside view.During our Hash circle, we deflowered another virgin Hasher.And that’s pretty much it for this Hash post.
Next week I’ll be the Hare along with Pubic Head and Blow My Pipe. We’ve already got a general idea about the path we will lay. Of course, it will once again be the best trail ever!
Stay tuned!

Good. I think I am starting to understand the Hash. It’s just a scenic hike through the are and a bit of drinking games at the end.
If you were to formalize your Alta Vista hash, then I think that would be the easier flatter paths, but for a much longer walk. Besides, your kennel has a lot of females so your popularity will soar .
Other than having to drink from a dirty shoe and sitting on ice, I think the ladies in your kennel do enjoy your walks.
Since you live in a convenient location for the hikes, it would make sense to just add a nearby place as the home. I wonder where the other gentlemen who walk with you live. I mean, the town is quite small and there can’t be too many neighborhoods there so I take it you bump into each other in the streets quite often.
The Hash slogan is “we are a drinking club with a running problem”. That’s pretty accurate.
Yeah, the Hash songs and rituals are kind of silly in a friendly fraternity sort of way. I would decline to drink out of my shoe (hence, I never wear a new pair to the circle) but the sitting on ice isn’t really a big deal, just a tradition.
The gals do seem to enjoy themselves and some of them like to have a challenging hike too.
