Germany Trip - May 27th, 2002

Tuesday October 04, 2005

This day led us into Austria to view the Alps and the small villages dotting the landscape.  The scenery was incredible, with the tall mountains towering over fields of wildflowers, animals & occasional houses and towns.  We drove up and over the mountains on narrow winding roads and stopped at several scenic overlooks to witness crashing waterfalls and peaceful lakes.  We drove through several ski resorts and spoke of returning one winter to experience true Alpine skiing!  After hours of driving, we stopped to tour the famous Austrian town of Salzburg.

Here's a quick menu to the various picture sets:
