November 9th, 2003: Castles

So far, my first few journal entries are short and sweet, mostly because we're driving through THE ALPS. (Yeah, try writing in a journal while being tossed around the backseat of a VW bug in the mountains - I dare you!) Anyway, I'm including some links to tourist spots for reference and to make up for my lack of wordiness:

  Embarrassed the crap out of me!)

• Tour of 1st castle

• Returned home through Austria
  
  
  Under Austria Sign
  (too dark, sorry)
  
  
• Ate at ski resort resaurant (ate "Chef Boyardee" penne?!!)
  The German cook poked fun of my mother and me, aka the "Turtleneck Twins", or so it seemed since we aren't fluent in German. And the joke was really on us when we sat down to eat our nice German dinner that tasted exactly like a can of Chef Boyardee.
  
• Home
  Back to Italy for repacking.

Next up: Venice!
