August 13

* One thing that we had to make sure that we did on this trip was to go hiking in the Alps. Today we did just that for a few hours just outside of Innsbruck’s city center. It was great to be outdoors and in the wilderness, and finally on a sunny day. There were all kinds of people and all ages on the path. In fact, we even passed a hiking nun. It turns out that we were hiking to a popular destination for the locals; a biergarten. It was a very crowded but quaint place where there was a playground for children and there were cows grazing on the hillside. We decided that we all deserved to have a beer after hiking all that way. After the beers we hiked back down, caught the bus to the train station, and made our way to Salzburg. After a few hours on the train we arrived to our destination that night and finally found our hostel after getting lost several times. The hostel was actually pretty nice and we meet a brother and sister pair from Germany that we talked to over a late dinner. We mostly discussed teenager things like their school system, sports, and American television versus German television.
