An Alpine Adventure

From June 22 - 27 we were invited to explore the real mountains in the West of Austria. Jakob, who sings in David's chorus, is from Osttirol. He & Andrea invited Ingrid, Alois, David and I to escape from the heat of the city and relax in the mountains. We stayed in the village of Heinfels in the Pustertal valley, which is where Jakob grew up, and his mother and siblings still live. It is very close to the border of Italy.We stayed in a Pension (a bed & breakfast), Anton & Antonia were our hosts/caretakers.
This is the view out our window.
Breakfast on the terrace is a fabulous way to start the day.



Every morning jugs of milk are sent down from the top of the hill where the cows are. The house in the background is Jakob's mother's house.
