May 16 Innsbruck

Today was an awesome day.  We stayed in a hostel last night so that meant we had to get out early this morning.  We were allowed to keep our baggage in the closet at the hostel.  The first thing we did was get breakfast and cappuccino in the outdoor café.  We then went on the cable car to the top of the mountains and got the most awesome view of the Alps.  Then we went to the Alpen Zoo which was in a very lovely setting on the side of the mountain..  It was late when we went so we could not see everything in the zoo.  We then rented a car at the airport and began our trip to Traunreut.  Along the way we stopped in Kufstein which was one of the places our parents were as refugees.  There is a large fortress there which is quite the landmark.  We sat by the river drinking cappuccino and eating pizza,,  We arrived late at Ossi and Elfi's home and had a wonderful meal with spatzel  The evening before we met with my friend in Innsbruck.  We both were in the same refugee camp near Innsbruck.
