It's about time I get into gear and update this old thing again! This semester has been full of days off and extended weekends, as the Austrians are not the biggest fans of effort and work.

Wolfgangsee

Purdy.

Wolfgangsee

The water was freezing, but was the blue you usually see in the Caribbean.

Poetic English

Operated. Operated Not. I didn't realize that Shakespeare hath been here.

Schafbergbahn

The old school trains that run up to the peak of Schafberg. This was also featured in The Sound of Music.

January

The train tracks on the peak.

Our Train

Choo-Choo.

The Peak

This is the actual peak. It reminds me of Titanic for some reason.

The Drop

Falls into nothing.

Other Peaks

We kept having little pockets of sky, and we could see the other peaks around us.

Summer and Winter

All in one picture.

The Kids

Lubo and Veronika are the two oldest out of the group. They were also the first two to sled.

On Your Mark, Get Set...

...Go!

The Hike Begins

How can you beat a view like that?

Hiking

Looks like they're walking into nothing.

A Little Break

We took various breaks on edges of cliffs and whatnot to take it all in.

Mondsee

One of the other lakes in the area.

Villages

Nestled in the valleys.

Blue

The water's color was incredible.

Stairs?

There were some areas where we found little stairs, such as these, as Libor so graciously demonstrates.

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!!. Absolutely spectacular pictures. I am with the rest sooo jealous. The house trees are called espaliering, which is a form of pruning so that the leaves and fruit or flowers are only on the front side. Very intricate but beautiful to look at........Love ya, Nanny
