Innsbruck.


Week end. March 7th-8th.

I got permission to go off by myself.
Friday i had obligations to film video of ISP students speaking about important topics int their lives.

I got paid with apple juice, and a ton of sweets.

Martin also advised me that i should take the time, and go see Innsbruck, and snowboard while the opportunity is still here.
I told him my plans and he re advised me on how i should do it.

I was going to take a morning train, and start snowboarding as soon as i got there. Then take stay in a hostel and take a train back the next day...
He told me to change it up a bit, and go there, stay in a hostel get a good nights sleep, and then enjoy a day on the mountain and come back on a late train.

His advice was very much appreciated. I got to the hostel, checked in, and talked to my girl friend Renee for while. Then went out and took some pictures, and went for a walk. I was very indecisive on where and what i wanted to eat. ended up back at the hostel after walking about 3 miles. Talked to my girl friend again, and ended up going on a quest for lasagna. I wanted to eat the same food as her. Turns out i found lasagna pizza. She never ended up eating her lasagna, and barely got to enjoy her food at all that night.

So then i got a good nights sleep, and woke up wicked early, and was talking to my girl friend, after i wrote her a letter and a poem.
Then breakfast time started, and i had an amazing first meal of the day.
Ham, Prosciutto, nuts, serial, coffee, fruits, etc... It was very yummy.

Then off to go snow boarding.

It was greatly enjoyable.
Fresh powder, steep slopes, crazy view, and full service to talk to my girlfriend. I wished she could have been there with me. It would have been worth having the view with her.

Ends up, on my last run when i was taking photos, i missed the last cable car to the top. ALL MY STUFF WAS UP THERE!
So i was able to convince them to send me up one last time. They agreed to trade me my locker key, worth 8 Euro for a ride to the top, and give me 5 mins to get to the locker, and back to the cable car. It was a sucess.

Train ride back, 4 hour train ride turned into a seven hour voyage. By the time the Ubahn was closed... so i walked from westbanhoff. Weather Renee realizes it or not, she helped me get back.... I was sleepy enough to just fall asleep and wait till the ubahn to start at 5:30. Or just pass out somewhere and wait till the rain stopped and the sun came up.



Renee helps me stay strong and focused. And it was fun keeping her next gift such a secrete from her on my walk back to the Thereasianum.
