Snowy birthday barbecue without wood...

Nice conversation in the morning when we were shopping barbecue things, the till girl looking at our clothes, saying: So you are up again in the mountains, aren't you? And we said: Yes, sure, we are having a BBQ! And she looked out of the window and said: Erm. Akward grin. Then something in the line of: Better you than me. 

Here a pic of my birthday boy when we were hiking up Mount Rigi with our friend, aiming for a nice BBQ spot with a view down to the lakes below. Disappointingly the mad Swiss people already had so many BBQs up there this winter that there was no wood left to start a fire! Shocking! We had to resort to a pizza down in the valley later. Anyway, it was a great snowy walk, all the trees were full with tiny snow-ice needles (see extra), I was unable to properly capture it on the trees and also the wonderful mood was something that didn't come across well in the pictures and needed to be seen in real.
