Experience Albania: Travel, Pictures, History, Culture

Photos taken in downtown Kitzbuhel-a beautiful and charming Alp ski town.
It’s almost 8AM on Saturday morning - just woke up after a night’s sleep under a down comforter.  I see the Alps on both sides of me, through the window’s of the Umlauf’s second floor computer/TV room.  While the rest of the house sleeps, I report to you from Kitzbuhel, Austria!

This trip has been amazing already.  Day four today of spending time with the perfect people, in wonderful places, doing such fun and interesting things.  And this all continues!

I’ll report about Munich after this, which is where we were for the first three days.  Dieter, the father of our German family friends, was (and continues to be) the best tour guide out there.  Munich was ours under his guidance and direction.

But for now, the most recent happengings of our trip caught on camera: a stroll through Kitzbuhel last night to see their Christmas market (which are all over Germany and Austria - and other European countries - in celebration and anticipation of Christmas.  These markets are brimming with everything good and delicious, German/Austrian style.  I have many photos taken throughout the Christmas markets we’ve strolled through thus far.
  Katie, Isabel (youngest daughter of the family, and she came to visit me in Albania in August), and Lauren.

Lauren and her moonboots, which she wore to walk into town.  Check them out for the latest Euro fashions in warmth.
  The cute couple, getting to travel Europe together! I miss my Ben! But am so happy for Mike and Lauren and to be doing this with them.
