some pictures and thoughts

so we stayed in this really old castle thats been converted into a hostel, i took this picture on our tour of the castle.

we took this on our post tour adventure around the castle, we decided to do some sound of music jumps and spins since we were in austria

i dont know if you can read it but it says tomato soup with whipped cream, maybe not the best translation for sour cream

i loved the color of the buildings in this town, they had this whole row in the downtown that was fun colors

we went to salzburg, it was cool, we saw mozarts birth place and his residence and had fun just walking all around the churches and downtown area

we hiked up to the top of this waterfall which was pretty intense but a lot of fun

after they punched the snowmen they made

i convinced her that this would be a good idea. it was worth it.

brent, one of my good friends here, bought me a lift ticket so we could ride to the top of this mountain for lunch and take sweet pictures (we had others with us but they didnt think it was as cool as we did)

i thought this was fun

that pretty much sums it up, except for the first day when we went on a 14kilometer sled run, which was super fun and maybe a highlight. overall the trip was good, not great but good.
yesterday was actually super fun, we had a soccer camp for little kids that our girls coached. it was tons of fun being able to get to know some of the girls better, i'm really enjoying coaching even though i really have no idea what i'm doing half the time. then we had a movie night at club beyond and then i went bowling with some people and then had a high school friend over to watch juno (which i loved). i really love my job which i guess makes living here a little easier.
