I cannot believe that my 2-week expedition with Dad is coming to a close soon. It went so fast! Tomorrow we head back to Pilsen, and Friday he flies back home. :(
We had another scenic drive yesterday and today. We have been driving through southern Germany and Austria, right by the Alps. For the majority of our drives, I have been staring out my window, open-mouthed. We are also usually listening to classical music. Precious, right?
We stayed in the beautiful town Garmisch last night, right next to the Alps. Unfortunately the weather was pretty foggy, so the mountains were quite hidden. We had a fun time nevertheless, and we went on our daily run before hitting the road.
Side note: I'm loving the continental breakfasts. Around plate #3, Dad usually gives me a look that is halfway impressed, halfway disgusted, accompanied by a statement like, "Wow, you really have an appetite today...good."
This morning we drove through Innsbruck (quite close to the Italian border) and headed northeast to end up in the Lake District outside of Salzburg. Our view is incredible. You know the scene in the Sound of Music when Julie Andrews runs through the hills singing? Imagine that, added to the fact that we are looking down at a lake with mountains in the background. Breathtaking!
Tomorrow we are swinging south around Bad Ischil to see some more lakes in the area. We appreciate your prayers for our continued safety as we travel. Wishing you all could be here to see the sights with me!
