Saturday I participated in my first St. Kitts Hash.
Duh, not the drug. Seriously, Just Say No guys.
The Hash House Harriers refers to a monthly run/walk group on St. Kitts who explore different parts of the island each event. It is very popular amongst all St. Kitts resisdents, both locals and non-locals. They are a nutty bunch with a fabulous personality who might actually succeed in turning this couch potatoe into a hike-a-holic. At least once every three weeks, that is...
According to my favorite online resource (and the bane of all college professors worldwide), Wikipedia, this phenomonon of blending a love of running and a love of drinking is NOT limited to St. Kitts. I will not go into the details of hashes, but please check out the basic outline on this link, it will explain better than I. Just understand that it is NOT merely a RUN, but sort of an adventure planned ahead by a few devilish characters.

I was invited to walk this particular Saturday (along with the C/Kristins, of course) by some friends who had run in the last hash a few weeks ago. We were told it was a lot of fun, that the people were awesome, and the views were breathtaking. We were not mislead. At least, not entirely...enjoy the pics!
Who knows? Maybe one of these days I'll actually RUN one.....might make the beer taste better. As if that's possible.
