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. Thus, last weekend, we had one of our many four day weekends. After lots of planning and the threat of cancellation due to the weather, Libor, L'ubomir (Slovakia), Veronika (Czech Republic), Bénédicte (Fra... Read Full Entry

Pfeifsignal

We had to cross the traintracks, and this is the sign warning to listen for the whistle of the train. After taking this picture, I sat down on a rock, and ended up dropping my camera roughly 10ft. It landed on more rocks, smashed, the batteries popped out, the works. I went to retrieve it, put it back together, and it has only a scratch. Not too shabby for a 6-7 year old camera. Good purchase, Lisa!

Traintracks

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain?

Out-House?

We had a laugh about what the purpose of this building could be...

RESTaurant

We had a little break here and the girls ate. The biker in the picture also then proceeded to strip for us and change right there. That was something none of us was prepared to see.

From the Bench

Sitting on a bench while the girls ate, Libor, Lubo and I had this view.

From the Bench

Snow on the mountains.

And 'Ere She Comes

Picturesque, eh?

Couldn't Resist

I had to take this picture, 'cause four words came screaming into my mind: the hills are alive...

Last Minutes on the Bench

Beautiful expressions from everyone.

Classic

Austria is a place everyone needs to visit at least once in their lives. Hard to imagine I live here.

Classic

See what I mean? Can you beat a place like this?

Achtung!

A sign telling us to watch out for cows, because they'll protect their young. It also says to proceed at your own risk. Lovely.

The Hills Are Alive

with the sound of music...

With Songs They Have Sung

for a thousand years...

Another Break

Slovakia and the Czech Republic were tired.

The Path

This is part of the path we were walking down. It's hard to tell, but most of the time, it was like this, where there was actually water running down the entire path.

Getting Closer

Starting to reach the bottom.

For Regina

I knew if she were with me, she'd have been sprinting into this field to spin and sing.

Our Place

We had the two windows on this side of the house on the first floor. That's also our car [we were getting some nasty stares in it, since on the license plate, it says W, which stands for Vienna].

Wolfgangsee

And a smidge of St. Wolfgang.

Wolfgangsee

Words don't do it justice.

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
