Week 4

June 7:

Went to a Catholic church in Waltenhofen. The church bells began ringing about thirty minutes before service. People inside were already gathering to pray. The inside of the church was beautiful.

After walking back to camp and having lunch by the lake we decided to take a walk. After about thirty minutes, we noticed some nasty clouds and headed back. We made it in the tent just in time. The thunderstorm was fairly heavy and eventually we noticed it had turned into a hail storm. We, and the tent, survived.

June 8:

Travel to Prague.

Germany Favorite:
Lisa: morning quiet time reading through Romans
Denise: the campsite near the lake with the mountainview

June 9:

Explored Prague including Prague Castle. The city was magnificent with unique architecture and winding cobblestone streets.

June 10:

Our campsite in Prague was quaint, basically the backyard of a sweet couple.
Today we went back into town to a bookstore and had coffee while catching up on the internet. It has cost money most places and sometimes hard to find.

June 11:

Travel to Innsbruck, Austria via Salzburg.
Met someone from Alabama on the train. They noticed the Auburn sweatshirt.

Setttled in at our campsite in a small township called Vols, not a great sign for me, but it turned out okay. The campsite is also a Pizzeria. :)

FYI: for non sports fans, Vols, is the nickname of a college sports team... but not my team.

June 12:

Went into Innsbruck. The town reminded me of San Fransico minus all the hills but with an incredible view of the Alps.

Ended the day with a cup of coffee at the campsite, did I mention the mountainview from the tent? Guess I was still excited about the pizza.

June13:

Hiked up the mountain behind our campsite, then relaxed by the glacier water river.
Returned back to camp to have pizza.
