The Hills Are Alive

So Tomas and I had been planning to go to the Baltic Sea for almost a week now. Well, I say planning. Really we´ve just been talking about it. We didn´t do any planning at all. So yesterday afternoon I told him we should change plans. So here I am in Austria, in the foothills of the Alps. Today we were probably a mile above sea level. I can´t even begin to explain to you the way it looks here. It is probably the most vastly contrasting landscape I´ve ever seen. We are staying in a town called Ebensee, which sits on a beautiful lake. Immediately behind the houses on the lake, the Alps begin their climb against the skyline. A few even reach peak through the clouds. From the deep in the mountains run streams of the clearest water I´ve ever seen. I can´t wait until I´m on a decent computer and can upload pictures. Though, I hesitate to because it just won´t do it any justice at all.

I´m tired of typing on this alternate European computer that has the "z" and "y" kezs switched. Plus, there are a host of other fun additives that I keep pressing like ü, ß, and ö, and ä. It´s quite annozing. Anzwaz, here are our plans for the next few days. Tomorrow Tom and I wake up and head to Schloß (this time I meant to use it) Neuschwanstein. It´s a castle. Look it up. Either the next day, or later on tomorrow, we are going to a secret location that only Travis and Kovach know about. I´ll let everyone else know after we´ve done it. I don´t want to Jinx anything. Ok, that´s all for now.
