Other than the manly sport of driving under-the-influence,

While travelling, I always drive under the influence ... of my wife, the navigator. The breathalizer test you're alluding to was required of everyone driving on that particular road at that particular time.

did you try any of their extreme sports? You know, macho stuff like white water rafting, bungee jumping, or horse diving?

I did the macho white-water thing down the Grand Canyon years ago. It was on the Colorado River's equivalent of a yacht. They cooked shrimp, fish, etc., for us every lunch, breakfast and dinner. Only needed 400 pounds of ice on the trip. Anything below 500 pounds is macho in my book.

I passed on the bungee jumping on the premise that I already get an upside-down view of the world when reading your posts.

As for the horse-diving event, I plead guilty. My back pleads "ouch."

The macho event was traversing the Franz Joseph (not Haydn) glacier, going into and out of crevasses, etc., etc. Seeing me doing that would have made you proud, but finding the bathroom was tough indeed.
