Innsbruck, Austria

The Archers are now on their way back to the states. The journey began in Innsbruck, Austria. We went by train and even just nearing the Alps the view was beautiful with the snow-topped mountains and small towns all around with Ron and I snapping as many pictures as we could.

The first day we went up into the Alps themselves to 2800+ meters. For those that don't know, I have a fear of heights. That made it a bit difficult for me to want to go way up. I wasn't going to, but Megan and the archers were all going, and I thought to myself what my family would say if

I didn't go. Here I was in the alps, afraid to go up to the top of this mountain. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm about to let it slip away. I went, but was definitely scared on the way up...

Megan and her parents went to the very top where there was a cross. No way I was going up there, it was inches from the edge of a cliff with no railings or anything. I was already scared...

By the time we got down it was nearing dark, we ate dinner, walked around and saw the town. The next day we went to a castle before catching our train around noon. All of the pictures are in the Innsbruck Picture Gallery so be sure to check them out. It had some really neat stuff to look at. It felt like more of a real castle, whereas the place we went on the Rhine cruise was a glorified Gift Shop. We had a great time with Ron and Debi being here and are going to miss them, we wish they could've stayed longer! Have a safe trip home!

We're still on the lookout for a Castle that is as non-updated as we can with as much of it's original stuff in tact. We'll see how that goes.

We'll post about Venice tomorrow, and Switzerland the day after.
