Today I went for a snowshoe hike near Nesslau, Switzerland. The hike was 16km (8km up, 8km down) of deep snow and mountain terrain. What made this hike unusual is that the trail was unmarked, yet I found my way using my GPS and a track that I uploaded into the unit (the trail was available on the internet). I'm in pain now but it was definitely worth it! Below is a profile of the hike. More photos are in the photo gallery.

CAKE

Wow! Last night I saw Cake at a small venue in Zurich. I’ve been a fan of Cake for eight years since their release of Fashion Nugget. They covered songs from each CD and even played two encores. The crowd was electric and the band played well to the audience. It was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen!
