Bitte Shuze!

We are loving Austria. Yesterday Chris and I joked about splicing a video together that showed five seconds on a cable car with Austrians then five seconds on the metro in Paris. It would be a wonderful way to show how incredibly warm, carefree and genuine people are here in Austria.

The other day we took note of interesting fish in a stream by Olympia Sportszentrium... We later fed squirrels, walked around Lake Wildsee and got engaged. After this full day, we enjoyed dinner at Camp Alpin, like always. As we looked at the menu, the head managess of the Camp told the other lady working there how to say, "we have fresh fish" in English, a message she delivered perfectly. After eating about 68,294 pounds of ham on this trip, we jumped at it.

To our surprise, out came two foot-long fish from head to tail- the same fish we had seen in the stream earlier in the day. They were perfect. The head lady then let us know that not only were they fresh, they were caught in the stream on the camp property. It doesn't get much better than that. The perfect close to a perfect day.

  1. Austria is so breathtaking. To think that you were on top of the world! The food looks so scrumptious! Just incredible.

  2. We could have used Chris Stevenson's help with fish anatomy! We peaked behind the eye but were a little too grossed out to put anything we found there into our mouths...
