The Hills are alive....

After a long, uneventful trip we made it to Munich, Germany, where we then got a rental car (Mercedez, not bad) and drove on the Autobahn for a couple of hours to Innsbruck, Austria. The autobahn was not quite what I expected. It looked like a regular divided two lanes (each way) highway. They do have some speed limits sometimes, but then there are lighted signs above telling you when the speed limit is unlimited. Actually, we figure that's what it meant as we don't know what European signs mean, but concluded that due to everyone speeding up and passing us at this time. So, of course, my husband doesn't have to be asked twice, or once for that matter, to speed up. It was great! I don't know how fast we were going because their cars only display speed using khm. I was wishing they had both so we could know for sure. I just had to look it up. From what I found we were going at our fastest 100 mph!!! Wow!!! This was legal, I'll remind you. When we arrived, I realized everyone at home was just waking up for the day!!! It's weird to be on such a different time zone. Now, I can relate to those of you who have already traveled abroad.

Tuesday, my husband didn't have to work, so we decided (actually more of it was me) to drive to Salzburg where they filmed the Sound of Music. We didn't know what we were doing, but when we got there we found an information booth and went to inquire. The person directed and sold my husband two tickets for a bus tour of the Sound of Music. I am sure this isn't what he really wanted to do, but he ended up enjoying it anyway. We were driven around on a big bus and saw lots of the places where they filmed the movie. It was so neat standing across the lake that was used several times and seeing the abbey and other places. I took pictures, but haven't been able to see if I can get them on my husbands computer yet. It was another long, but fun day!!!

I'll try to post again sometime this week. So long, farewell, alvederzein, adiou....

100 mph, wow... I had a hard time maintaining 70 on my way to Spokane this morning. I hope that the remainder of your trip is fun and relaxing.

Whew hew! My honey would give anything to drive that fast...legally. Good for you taking the Sound of Music tour. You don't want to come home & regret anything! Have a lovely time making memories! Miss you.

Did you sing "The Hills are Alive!"? I would have :). I am glad you are having a good time. If you can, Brooke would like a post card :). She collects them, but she would never tell you herself.

Missing you...

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike
