Adventure on Tick Mountain

We left Reutte today to find a new adventure. We had done almost everything in the town. As we were driving out of town, we came across the Ehrenberg Ruins. It was really awesome! We hiked up and it wasn’t too bad. I had to be very careful at the top b/c it was rocky and I was nervous about my ankle.

After the long hike to the top, we let Sophie play for a while, out of the kelty backpack. She loved it - she was running around the tall grass, putting wild mountain flowers in her hair, climbing up the little hills. When we put her back in, I noticed a tick crawling on my shorts. Then I saw one on my shoe! We had changed her diaper there on the grass!!!! AHHHH! We stripped her down, and checked her, but found none on her, luckily. The views were just awesome, and I didn’t hurt my ankle, so that was a success.

We continued motoring to Innsbruck. On the way, we stopped at a GREAT little restaurant and had some wonderful cheese spaetzle and grilled turkey. There were little rabbits in an enclosure and they were so friendly Sophie loved them. There was also a little playground for kiddies, complete with a plastic playhouse. While rearranging the table and chairs inside, Sophie fell down, hit her head, and got a nice bruise along the side of her eye!

When we finally made it to Innsbruck, it was so yucky. Just a not-so-charming city, so we high tailed out of there to a little town called Hall. It’s totally cute, and our hotel is wonderful - non smoking rooms even!!! AND free internet access. There were lots of hot spots in the city. Next time, we'll definitely bring a laptop. You pass by strawberry fields on the way there, and the sign says "Selfen pflucken" something like that. We figured it's "you pick your own".

We headed to the public pool, which was closed since it was raining, but Sophie liked the walk in the rain anyway.
It was so nice to eat dinner in a non-smoking hotel! Dinner was pretty good, and with the weather so yukky out, it was nice to stay warm inside.
