The "WOW!" factor

As I went through my photos so far I couldn't resist sharing a few of the best (hopefully not too many).     Enjoy!

Wandering Hallstadt's tiny streets
Salzburg is beautiful, even in the winter

Life's a "beach"

Why don't we build cool houses like this?

Rettenbacher Klamm! Waterfalls, waterwheels and mills

Another wonderful short walk through the woods to check out some historic mills, and the beautiful waterfalls around them.   To get there you have to, of course, pass the Wolfgangsee. Then you also pass by the Fuschlsee. Had to stop there to try out some "fresh catch orf the day" fish sandwiches. There's the "Schloss Fuschl" accross the bay.   Here we are at the Klamm. Whenever you see that term you can be sure it is worth stopping to see. The water is being diverted through troughs to the waterwheels. There's the first waterwheel mill. The stream through the Klamm is loaded with swimming holes More waterwheel mills. The stream meanders through the woods from mill to mill.     A few waterfalls along the way... ... and a very tall waterfall at the end of the trail.

Griasdi, Do sa'ma! (translation) Hello there, here we are!

OK, looks like we made it, and are off to our two year adventure.  Despite spending most of the first month getting our visa paperwork together, getting insurance, finding a place to live, buying furniture and other furnishings for our new home, and all that other not so fun stuff, we have been able to spend a little time checking out the beautiful sites and touristy things around here. Bad Ischl for the day Our new home. Let's hope they let us stay. The winter hasn't been very wintery. Going for a walk up the neighborhood street Across the street from the house An evening walk at the beach The Attersee (our lake) the Almsee Yep, it's winter here, but less snow than usual

"Hoher Dachstein" what a mountain.

We decided to take a day trip and spend some money to ride one of the trams up the Dachstein, the highest mountain in Upper Austria. There are a couple of trams, one which goes higher from the south side, and this one, the "Krippensteiner Seilbahn." At the top they have built this metal thing called the "five fingers," where you hang out over the cliff for a view.   Not much grows up here at this altitude except low lying shrubs and a whole lot of wildflowers. Wow, what an impressive mountain.   A whole bunch of crazy dare-devils come up here to jump off the mountain into the air.   OK, ready, set, go, and run like your life depends on it! It does, by the way!   If you catch the draft just right you go up rather than down.   We made it to the top... of this part of the mountain anyway. Incredible views of the valleys below. There's the Hallstättersee.
