Wow!! What a beautiful country! We spent our longest time in one campsite in Fusch. Our surroundings were amazing. We hiked everyday and did one overnight hike. Hiking is different in Austria-it is acceptable to use cable cars, mountains are very steep-straight up and straight down usually 1000m with few countour paths! When we hiked overnight we stayed in a guest house(Gliewitzerhutte) at 2100m above sea level. We made friends with lovely Austrian couple - Barbara and Matthew. Matthew grew up in the area and told us a lot about the hiking in the region. The one thing we didn't know was that the whistling sound you hear when hiking down the mountain is not birds but Mermouteer or Manke (?sp) as the locals call them communicating with each other (Dassie like creatures with long tails). ... read more

Connor's blog today: So finally we got in some skiing!! It was fantastic; the hills were phenomenal, although really hard to ski because they were so steep. After a hard day of fantastic skiing we relaxed in the whirlpool (hot tub). It was not too hot, but after a dip in the cold ice-plunge pool, it felt steaming. After a good night sleep, we awoke early and once again got ready for skiing, but this time Austin and I were skiing with an instructor. After we ate breakfast, we met our instructor. His name was Jonas (pronounced Yonis). He was from Sweden. He could speak English, but sometimes it was hard to understand him because of his accent. He was hilarious and cool and exciting. He was exciting because he took Austin and I to the ... read more

Today we finally went skiing for the first day. It was awesome! Skiing today was probably by far the best time I have ever had while skiing. Skiing here was better then any other place I had skied before and trust me; I have skied in lots of different places. This was the best vacation I ever had I am having soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! I had a great time and the weather was excellent too. I think that weather was on our side today because the whole week we have been here it was raining. The mountain we skied on was huge! And when I say huge I mean like higher than the clouds, and enormously huge. Let me tell you about it. First we went and rented the equipment, which surprisingly didn’t take that long. ... read more

Hey it’s me again the kid who types long boring blogs about stuff your not even interested in. Can you guess who I am? Well it’s me Austin Peters your daily blogger. Right now we are going to Innsbruck, Austria. I am in the car typing while my mom is having a heart attack about the winding roads over cliffs. Well I don’t have much to tell you right now, (surprisingly) because we are in the car on our way there. The only thing I could tell you is that there are a bunch of churches and castles around every turn. You would think that old ancient churches and castles would amaze me but after you see twenty or so of them then you think “who cares.” Well I am bored now I am only continuing ... read more

This Austin and this is my entry. my entry isn't going to be corny like my brother Connor's. He wrote his corny because he is a suck up and does is to try to impress my mom or be funny but he's not. Nobody likes a suck up. I am very exited to go to Austria. I have never been outside the continent of North America before except for when i went to Mexico. I think that isn't in North America. Isn't Mexico in Central America or is it in North America? what ever anyway i am exited to go but we aren't going doing a school break so when I come back i will have a lot of homework to make up. I HATE HOMEWORK!!!!!! going Austria is probably worth all of the homework so ... read more
