Here are the highlights of the past two weeks:
First up, Zermatt, home of the Matterhorn:
The view from our hostel window.
The view from outside the door to the hostel.
Japanese tourists taking pictures of the Matterhorn at sunrise (around 5:45am). We were only up because we had an insanely early train to Milan to catch.
The humungous Duomo in Milan.
Kate in front of La Scala.
Kate in front of Cathy Berberian's home in Milan.
If women are dressed too revealingly, they have to wear these weird blue bibs. We found them highly amusing.
Venice:
A covertly taken picture in La Fenice.
At the tip of the island was this large statue of a naked boy holding a frog, and for some reason that cop seemed to be guarding it.
Here's us on the train to Munich.
That one on the right is a liter of beer. This was the only size available for the dark beer or anything other than wheat beer (a mere half-liter, shown at left).
The most expensive (labeled) watch yet! Who is insane enough to spend that much money on a watch? And who is crazy enough to display it in a window? Patrick can't believe that 112 thousand euros doesn't even buy a digital display.
We biked around that park on my birthday. We saw nude sunbathers, but we didn't take any pictures of them.
Salzburg:
This is a fortress.
These are views from that fortress.
We visited this castle in Salzburg featuring trick fountains, which were apparently the height of humor and technological wonder in the 18th century. These kids got soaked.
We're in Vienna now, pictures coming soon!
