start. we stayed at the pension until after lunch. after our bellies
were satisfied, we piled into the car and headed up to pyramidenkogel
which is an overlook at the top of a foothill to the mountains. the
view encompasses lake wertersee and stretches for miles in every
direction. the tower is 54 meters tall besides the mountain. i have to
admit, i experienced some vertigo while looking over the edge. after
we had our fill of unnaturally high places, we loaded back up and
headed out to Keltikwerlt. (for all you english speakers out there,
that translates to celtic world.) It was quite interesting. There were
some burial sites, as well as information about spiritual rituals and
their everyday lif. Kinda cool, but a little strange. our next stop
was a visit to rosegg to see their wild animal park and wax museum.
i'm not a fan of zoos, so the animal park was fairly uninteresting to
me, but younger than me two found it necessary to take pictures of
every rock, tree, and leaf along with all the animals. he completely
filled up my mother's memory card. although the wax museum was small,
i quite enjoyed it. the museum was inside a schloss, or an old times
mansion. It was pretty cool. We stopped by a store on the way home to
get food for the next couple days. its interesting to me that here,
they buy things in less quantity and just buy more often. their
refrigerators are much smaller, so they have less space to store the
food. the milk here tastes slightly different from home, but it
doesn't need to be refrigerated until it has been opened. also, they
sell eggs in sets of ten, not by the dozen. to buy pre sliced bread,
it's called toast here, is not as common as buying loaves of bread and
rolls. i'm inspired to get a cookbook and try some quatrain bread
recipes when i get back. we'll see if that actually happens. one last
thing, the water here. if you buy bottled water, or bottled juice of
any kind for that matter, its almost all carbonated. probably 95% of
it is carbonated. the carbonation is different than back home, it
hitnk it's that the bubbles are smaller. Anyway, i hope you all eat
delicious food today. I know I have.
