Innsbruck, AUSTRIA (not australia)- So I am here with Cameron. Having a blast. After we met in the train station we headed off to the hostel. Checked in, then went out to grab a beer. Innsbruck is set in a valley between some very exposed mountains. A bit like Tahoe, only a lot more bare granite. About 10pm we headed back to the hostel, walked in, and there was a high school classmate of Cam´s from Australia. Well, we were headed to bed, but headed back out to get a drink. Good times were had wandering the streets of Innsbruck. Woke up the next morning and took a tram ride to the top of one of the ridge lines. The slopes were 70% grade. A bit steep, but apparently in the winter people ski it. Crazy. We sat and ate lunch looking over the valley at the Austrian Alps. Dave, Cam´s friend, and I decided that we were going to climb a nearby peak. After about 10m on the peak we both began to question the sanity of the exersise, but being young, and younger, pressed ahead. Some minor rock climbing, pretty hairy exposure, and bright sun, and we reached the top. Well, as we all know, the easy part was over, now we had to head back down. As usual, it was more "fun" than going up. While Dave and I were having our misadventures atop the peak, a glider began dive bombing the ridge line. At several points he was below the point that Dave and I were at and close enough to see to know that he hadn´t shaved in a few days. Dave and I got back down, and we all headed down to Innsbruck. Tomorrow it´s off to Switzerland to see Chris Davidson for a few days then up to Denmark on Sunday. I cannot wait for that part to begin, but unfortunately it also means the begining of the end. This trip has completely flown by, the experiences have been wonderful, the people fantastic. Dave, Cam and I were discussing the fact that we have to think "Now which town are we in?". That is a great feeling.
