Faenaduial has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

Well I finally walked out my door and started the walk to Rivendell. This elf didn't make much progress on Saturday (2 miles) as the weather was cold and rainy but today finished a four mile hike.

It is supposed to snow tomorrow. If it does we will see if this elf can tread atop the snow.

This passage always made me laugh, and yet it also made me wonder...Why would the Elves give to the Hobbits such spirits that would lessen their fear and release their inhibitions? It's like they intentionally put them in danger.
I don't believe the elves would intentionally put the hobbits in danger. Rather they may not have know the affect their drink would have on the hobbits.
