The Hills are Alive...with the sound of Brandon crying because he has to drive a smart car.


Eden was thrilled to ride these beautiful Lipizan "stallions." Our two hour ride included a stop at a brown bear inclosure (with real live brown bears!) and some cantering in a lovely pasture (and some unplanned galloping). Two days Brandon is still sore, but glad he could give his wife a great time.
Eden got some food out of a nearby dumpster* to feed this duck, he dont care tho!
*A clarification, it was a nearby garbage can, and it was her un-eaten portion of her kebab, so really not a true dumpster diving event.
Eden can JUMP!
Cheesy romantic photo op.
Good camera work by Eden.
Best snack ever, MT DEW and Worcesterschire chips from an English store. Delightful! My first real mt dew in about a month. I bought an extra one for tomorrow.
Overlooking the city of Werfen (Verfen in english) from the castle on the hill in Austria, near Salzburg. The same castle featured in the movie "Where Eagles Dare" With Clint Eastwood! Since I have seen the movie at least a dozen times it was really cool for me. I hear there is another movie that was allegedly filmed near here, but what could possibly compete with Clint Eastwood?
Our rental car. I want to beat myself up for even standing next to it. But it is fully insured so I may drive it off a magnificent cliff into a pristine lake. Maybe.

Been enjoying seeing all the awesome places you've visited, but really lame and not commenting. Sorry! Glad to see you're safe and having fun! I'm now adding some new places to my list of places to see some day!

You guys crack me up. I hope Brandon doesn't hurt himself too bad driving off a cliff.:)
