…not that i\u2019ve just been SITTING HERE LIKE A SLUG ALL DAY OR ANYTHING! i got up, was NOT going to run, but then mollie was looking so pleadingly at me that i had no choice; we went for 28 short minutes and were both glad we went.<\/p>\n
and then i gave a long massage and then i had lunch with my friend linda. a VERY busy monday morning for me! and i have just a few minutes before i have to give yet MORE massages, so i\u2019ll be quick about it here.<\/p>\n
the wind is, indeed, howling, but it\u2019s pretty warm out but tonight it\u2019s supposed to be in IN THE 20s. so here it comes. i\u2019m ready, though. i can\u2019t find the flannel sheets, but do we actually have any flannel sheets? why can\u2019t i even remember last winter? i have plenty of fuzzy pajamas but i really need the flannel sheets.<\/p>\n
if we have any, i have no idea where they could be, so that\u2019s almost the same as not having any.<\/p>\n
ok, anyway, here\u2019s MORE OF AUSTRIA. as you may recall, i left you there at the concentration camp, not a happy place to be.<\/p>\n
we left that place after being there all afternoon, and the parking lot was almost empty. we hadn\u2019t really seen a lot of people inside the camp when we were there, so i\u2019m not sure where they ever were.<\/p>\n
we rode our bikes down the hill which was great, because of all that coasting. we had no desire to see the actual town of mathausen because we\u2019d just seen their concentration camp. instead, we took the ferry across the river, headed for the town of enns.<\/p>\n
i don\u2019t know if i\u2019ve mentioned this, but our guidebook and literature from the tour company never had any maps or instructions for getting to our actual hotels, which could prove challenging. this was one of the challenging days. we were emotionally drained and physically pretty tired, and we rode on a country road and there was enns – but where was the hotel? the small map in the guidebook was no help. the bike path signs were no help, because we had no idea where the hotel was in relation to the signs. it looked like the center of town was up a hill, and i could see a steeple at the top. i felt our hotel must be near the center, but kevin was sure it was out the other way and so we had some discussion about this for a while.<\/p>\n
when you\u2019re on a bike and you\u2019ve been biking for a while you really really don\u2019t want to end your day biking around without knowing where you\u2019re going. and you CERTAINLY don\u2019t want to go up a hill if you can avoid it.<\/p>\n
but my logic won out and we climbed the hill, and there was the hotel. whew.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that\u2019s the view from our room; the town was the oldest in lower austria, i think, i can\u2019t remember and i actually have no time to look it up because i have to leave FIVE MINUTES AGO to go give a massage and now i\u2019m probably going to be late. well, not actually late, but the client will be early so i\u2019ll appear to be late which is almost as bad.<\/p>\n
i go now. more later in the day.<\/p>\n
ok ok ok,<\/p>\n
