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.

London?

I thought we were in Austria?

Chess

Czech mate. [Get it? 'Cause Libor's in the picture?]

Bad Ischl

The river running through Bad Ischl, named the Ischl [Bad means Bath in German, thus the reason why the Kaiser chose Bad Ischl as the place for his villa].

Pit Stop

We made a stop on the way to Halstatt to take pictures.

Camping

The camp grounds.

Halstaetter See

The lake in Halstatt.

Halstaetter See

Little villages dotted the banks.

Halstatt

Very small. Unfortunately, the cranes were there, as well.

Very Cool Tree

I thought this was awesome. Lots of houses in Halstatt had trees growing up against them, and were trimmed according to windows, etc.

Polizei

Halstatt's police station.

Halstatt

A little closer so you can see it better.

Halstatt

Not too shabby, eh?

Halstatt

Entering the city.

House-Tree

Another example of the trees I liked.

Halstatt

The boater was kind enough to jump into my picture.

Halstatt

Framed by the mountains.

There was a store for glass-blowing, and this was a wine glass that was doubled over, and inscribed was, "Nie Wieder Alkohol," meaning, "alcohol never again."

Halstatt

Hauptplatz.

Austrian-Spotting

We were all psyched to see this guy. It's perfectly normally in Austria to wear the traditional clothes as everyday clothes, and this guy had a wooden backpack and everything.

Halstatt

A really pretty little city.

Halstatt

The mountains were everywhere.

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
