The following was written on the train ride home from Venice. It recounts the experience of four North American Girls on their journey to the city of canals, bridges, churches and lost tourists!

Hello everyone!! We have been in Austria not quite a week and we have already seen so much and learned so much! We have learned: -Innsbruck got its name because of the bridge (bruck) that crosses the Inn River. Our residence is right beside this river and we walk along it to get to school. -The old town of innsbruck was built mostly in the 15th century as a rest stop for travellers as the went through the Alps on their way from Germany to Italy.
