Valentine´s Day, Schmalentine´s Day

I now remember all of the reasons that I don't celebrate this holiday. Valentine's day 2007 will definitely enter the history books of one of the worst holidays ever. It all started with a late train. Which led to a missed flight. Which led to Kary's wallet getting stolen. Which led to us sleeping in the Gatwick airport. Which led to a night of no sleep. Which led to a morning of disappointment on the 15th. The cards weren't in our favor on V-Day. Which solidifies why I am meant not to celebrate it. Anyway...after the disaster on the 14th, fate started turning our way, and we got out of the airport and finally into Austria. We've only been here for a day, but we love it. Salzburg is beautiful, and we did all of the city sight-seeing today. We hiked quite a bit, took lots of pictures, tried to figure out how to buy fruit from the grocery store, watched some men play chess on a life size chess board, and I even ate a pretzel the size of my head! Tomorrow we are headed to Hallstatt, which is about 50km south of Salzburg, and supposedly gorgeous.
Really the size of my head... and it almost looks like a heart... but I assure you it was not for Valentine's Day :)
