We kept Friday as a free day, just in case anything came up; however, we didn't want to waste it, either, so we took a drive toward the Dolomites, the section of the Alps nearest to my house.
We basically took random turns toward what looked the coolest, and, through amazing luck, ended up at a trail head.
We hiked through a canyon, up the side of a mountain, and took in the wonderful scenery. It was a gorgeous day, and there wasn't another soul in sight.
We were hoping to reach some kind of peak, or at least a clearing where we could have a wider view; but after hiking for a couple of hours, we had no indication of where we were, so we decided to turn back. Plus, we were really, really hungry.
We'd only driven 45 minutes to the trail head, and I had no idea there was such great hiking so close to my house. I'll definitely be going that way again, if only I can remember how to get there.
