Holiday in Innsbruck

Our trip included stops in: Kitsbuhel (where the wealthy live...at least in the summer), Innsbruck, Ausservillgraten, and Innervillgraten.
The food was great and the friends we visited along the way even better.
Chock-full of memories.

One of my favorites

Oreo Legacy: I introduced Oreos to the fam :) The kids love 'em.

Swarovski Crystal World

Crystal Dome

Golden Roof

View from Nordkette Mountain

Franz!

Beautiful view

Bergeisel - over 160 ft. ski jump

View from the top

Patscherkofel - ski venue during the Olympics '64 & '76

View from Patscherkofel. I think the view here was more beautiful than on Nordkette.
And less people too!!

Edelweiss. Only grows in high altitudes...it is forbidden to pick them.

Hotel in East Tirol where Franz used to work as a cook 22 years ago!
We made a stop for coffee and tea.

Hiking in Villgratental

Loacker! Made in Austria

Ausservillgraten

For all my foodie friends: THIS was amazing.
A delicious, soft chocolate torte with vanilla ice cream.

Quality: smoked bacon, sausages, eggs, and cheese.
Everything was homegrown and made...even the flour from the bread.
