This morning we set out on our adventure to Austria. What is unfortunate is that my poor roommate was sick all night... from both ends. We rode on the front of the bus... needless to say, but she did not get sick after that so hooray! We stopped at a gas station to get gas and stop for peeing and as soon as we turned off the bus, some dumb woman backed straight up at like 15mph and so we had to wait for like 25 minutes for the police to get there and then it took like another 45 or so minutes to have them get everything straightened out... the people didn't want to admit fault... stupids.
We went to the Mauthausen Labor camp in Linz- the place where Hitler spent his youth. It was very sad. The guide actually took us into the gas chamber and the creamatoriums. Very disturbing to see and to know that there were so many people who died there. It brought some people to tears. I can't post the pictures because now I am in Salzburg at an internet cafe because our rooms don't have internet. Salzburg is pretty but things here don't seem too modern. We will be here for 3 days. Tomorrow we will tour the city and Hitler's mountain home, Berchtesgarden. I will post as soon as I can. Until next time...

This morning on Food Network, the theme of a show I was watching was German food because the host was an army brat, and lived in Germany for a while during her childhood.
Anyway, I thought of you!
Thanks for the updates! They're great!!
