Innsbruck, Austria









Well we’re back on the train, after two days in Innsbruck.  I’m having a wonderful time with my mom and Caroline on the train. The ride is absolutely gorgeous! We’re going through the Alps, looking at the white mountain peaks! We saw a few mountain goats galloping through the hills and I about died. Amazing.  Innsbruck is a beautiful mountain town.  Monday, we went to a castle that a royal family used to live in, and explored all the rooms and the gardens. The weather was cold and rainy, didn’t score too much on that. But ya get what ya get and that’s all there is to it. We decided we weren’t going to let the weather ruin our trip, so off to the castle we trekked. We went to a lovely dinner at the Piano Bar, and ate the most delicious potatoes of our lives. I meant to ask for the secret ingredient that made those potatoes so dang good, but I chickened out. For dessert, we split “icepalachinkin,” which is a plate of crepes filled with ice cream, topped with chocolate and whipped cream. My tongue was dancing like there’s no tomorrow!  This morning, we got up early to catch the train.  So here we are, just crossed the border into Italia
