Carissa's Version of Our Hiking Trip:

We started out on our day of hiking with spectacularly beautiful weather. We took a train from Brasov to Sinaia then took the cable car to the top of the mountain (2000 meters up). Unfortunately we entered a cloud on top of the mountain and would have been utterly lost, due to the lack of a map, if not for my astounding navigational skills. Although the cloud was thick, I was able to read the moss patterns on the sides of rocks and lead us out of the cloud to lower ground. Christina had the unfortunate luck to trip over a boulder and break her leg. I was forced to carry her on my back which was no problem due to my super-human strength. As we were descending Christina saw cows in the distance and because of her wild animal instincts (or maybe her lack of self-control) she began to moo. Yes, she actually "Mooo"ed at cows on the top of a mountain in Transylvania! She attracted the attention of the cows and we found ourselves in the midst of a stampede. While this may seem to be an unfortunate stroke of luck it was actually good because the wild cows separated us from the wild dogs that were looking ravenously at us. Lots of wild animals in Transylvania. When we were able to make our way back to civilization we fell into the first restaurant we could find. At first we were confused as to why the waiter was ignoring us, but after he threw us out of the restaurant I understood-- he was afraid the blood from Christina's leg would attract vampires to the area (like sharks, the smell blood and swarm). We made it back to Brasov after night fall but the full moon was a few days ago so we were ok. It was quite a crazy day.

Christina's Version of our Hiking Trip:
We went hiking. It was pretty but not very difficult. The end.

(slight exaggeration added, but we are in the land of scary stories so it only seems appropriate).
