When I was a
child, I used to run around in the mountains a lot, mainly ponding
the many streams and trickles I could find there, or playing hide
and seek or other “adventure games”.
I was also wearing the most flexible and practical piece of garment. I guess that’s what lead Biella to sum up the picture as a “charicature of the typical European boy.” Only Bavarians and Austrians wear Lederhosen though, mind you.
I miss those days.
PS: Erinn, that dress must be perfect to dam rivers, it won’t get soggy as you wade. Sucks a little about the tights though.
