I must apologize for the lack of stories this week. We have been very busy skiing and rodeling and yodeling and having biers and participating in all sorts of fun Austrian activites. I leave tommorrow morning fro Verona on the train.

So, last night we went rodeling. At Austrian ski slopes, they build trails called the Rodelbahn. It is a narrow track to ride a sled called a rodel down. Sometimes it can be very dangerous and painful, but it is one of the best things I have ever done. It is the most amazingly crazy experience. We took these sleds to the top of a mountain at 9 o'clock at night and proceeded to drink a few schnapps shots and beers. Then, we had a race to the bottom of the hill which is probably 3 or 4 kilometers down this crazy track. Hopefully I will post some pictures so you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. The bottom line is, Austrians are awesome. They definitely know how to have a great time, and they are awesome skiiers as well. We had an awesome trip, and have tons of great stories from our Tirolian experience. More to come later.

Now, I am going to bed in order to get up to make the train tomorrow. I will try to get some pictures online as soon as possible after my arrival in Verona. Ciao!
