Austria in Pictures

Here are a lot more of the pics I took while on the trip. I still don't have them all edited, but these are some of my faves.



Boomer enjoying the room



The decorations in our bathroom



The random no camping sign down from our hotel. I thought it was kind of random.



I loved the mountains around us. So beautiful!



This was one of the more famous landmarks in Innsbruck, supposedly the emperor used to sit out underneath it and watch the people below.



Kebabs. Sean and I probably had three of these while in Innsbruck. So delish!



One of the pubs we visited.



Sean modeling the local hats



My baked potato with parmesean, tomatoes and rucola.



No joke that this was five minutes later. I was STARVING!



A bar we passed. I thought it's sign looked like the one in the Cocktail movie.



One of the main streets in the historic center



Lamborghini I spotted from our hotel window



I love the style of the churches



Odd display in one of the windows



My amazing Chicken Shai Korma at the Indian restaurant



I showed you guys a pic of this church the other day, but here's a shot of it with my wide angle lens.



This was the beautiful organ in the back of the church



The interior of the church.



More mountains...couldn't get enough of them



My first attempt at a panorma with this camera. It still needs to be tweaked a bit.

Anniversary in Austria

Originally Sean and I had planned on staying in Austria for Friday and driving back late Saturday evening, however, as I mentioned in the previous post, we were stupid American tourists and left our car in a garage that was closed all weekend. It turned out fine though, because we really enjoyed the extra days we stayed in Innsbruck.

Once we got to Innsbruck, we checked into our hotel: The Romantik, which I really liked. The first night we stayed there we had a much nicer room then the second and third nights we stayed there. The hotel had an AWESOME breakfast. In Italy, the breakfast consists of coffee and a something like a crossiant. In Austria it was meats, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruit, assorted rolls and breads, cereal, yogurt, juice, champagne, etc. I was in HEAVEN!

Most of the weekend we walked around the old town, looking at the historic places, popping into shops and eating at restaurants. I ate so much this weekend. So much in fact, that it's not even funny. Sushi, Indian food, two or three kebabs, apple struedel....the list goes on and on. Don't worry, I took pictures of all of it so you guys don't feel like you're missing out on anything.

I LOVED Austria! Now don't get me wrong, Italy is a cool place to live, but Austria is awesome. Everyone was so friendly and food was to die for. I loved the mountains too. Breathtaking!

The only thing we didn't do that I was wanting to go see was the Alpenzoo, which is the highest altitude zoo in Europe if not the world.

Overall it was a wonderful place to celebrate Sean's birthday and our anniversary. I highly recommend it.

Look for pics soon!

Quick Update

Just a quick update for you guys. Sean and I are in Innsbruck, Austria. We planned on coming home yesterday, but made the mistake of parking our car in a parking garage that closes on the weekend. Hence, we are here until Monday morning when it opens.

We are having a great time and celebrating our 2nd anniversary today.

Pictures, stories to follow.
