More Hashing Moments...

We have really enjoyed becoming more active with the Amsterdam Hash. Here is our group at a beer break on a fine fall day near the Olympic Stadium.

While much of Amsterdam is a mix of typical residential and commercial buildings, occasionally we come across some areas that are definitely off the beaten path, like these cool funky warehouses. One houses a vintage store that sells clothes by weight; another is a giant junk store that’s hard to drag Opee out of. In fact, on this particular day we lost trail after he stopped to buy a prom dress for a future run.

Honestly, it would have been better to have drunk out of my new shoes the first time that I wore them, but it took two runs before I was busted for daring to bring new shoes to the hash.

On the first Saturday in November, the FILTH was in the afternoon because the hare wanted to take us to see a small planetarium in the woods. Along the way, the runner’s trail included a creek crossing. It is rare for me to be thankful about getting lost, but in this case I was relieved as I avoided having to get soaked and was in position at the beer break to photograph Opee as he crossed the waist deep water.

The scenery just after the crossing was especially lovely.
