The hills are alive...

with the mocking of the sound of music, La la la laaaaa. The movie that we all know and some love, it's not so great in the eyes of an Austrian. At least the 8 that I met last night! quite unbelievable actually, cause that movie is wonderful. I do recall every single night the last time I was out here, they played the 'Sound of Music' at our hostel. So they do cator to us tourists who have a love for that movie :)
It's beautiful out here...Randi and I walked up a mountain today, and it didn't even hail or storm on us! such a relief. We have tried 2 of the traditional dishes/desserts so far...Krapfen, a delicious deep fried dough with icing sugar and apricot jam ( very much reminded me of a soft rollkucken for those of you who know what that is ) and we tried wiener schnitzel, das vas goot. Shortly we will be heading over to my friends grandma's, where she has made APPLE STRUDEL for us, and that my friends will be das beste! I had it lots when I was here the last time, but never a grandmas homemade strudel. yummmmm.
Apart from the traditional dishes, we learned the wiener waltzer(Vienna Waltz) this morning...so we can work off all the desserts we're eating :)
And it's also a good thing we climbed that mountain today...now bring on the apple strudel :)
