i took a late train and shared a compartment with 2 czech lesbians (who actually turned out to be 2 slovak sisters, but what would you think if you saw identical mullets?) we had a very halting conversation using pieces of 6 different languages because they spoke little english and i spoke no slovak. finally i had to fake narcolepsy to put an end to the painful conversation. (normally i'd love that sort of thing, but it was 1 am, give me a break!)
newsflash: the austrian alps are just as beautiful as the swiss alps. i just love me some alps. 
i also learned that "wien" is vienna. and that if something is from vienna it is "wiener." and, in austria, there are lots of signs advertising things from vienna. i spend way too much time with fourth graders because i could not stop giggling. everything is wiener!a nice jog, a nice hike, some nice knödel and palatschinken (i swear i'm not making those words up) in a restaurant where all the seats were covered in hairy animal skin. (dog, i think) anna said it's very austrian. (she's practically austrian.)
a jaunt around innsbruck city center the next morning. one of the most charming little cities i've ever seen.
and a tasty topfenstrüdel ....
that i shared with my friend.
my train got in too late to catch a bus, so i walked home. but this view made it totally worth it.
