24 September 2013 - Innsbruck-St. Moritz, Switzerland


 
 
It seems I wrote very little in my journal on Tuesday the 24th....perhaps because we were going non-stop all day!
We had a magnificent drive through Austrian and Swiss grand Alpine scenery - headed South into Switzerland's lower Engadine Valley, past the Swiss National Park to the famous resort of St. Moritz.
As you know, Innsbruck has been the host of the Winter Olympics several years.  We found it interesting, weird, but interesting that this cemetery is what the skiers see below them as they teeter on the precipice of their run!
 
 







Statue of
ANDREAS HOFER (1767-1810)
 
For God, the Kaiser and the Fatherland


The magnificent Cathedral of St. James - built 1717-1724.






The only fabric store we found in all our 45 days!  Not much along the lines of quilting fabrics.  Bought - nothing!


The Goldnes Dachl (Golden Roof)




Local beer for Lar - water for me.  And then a terrific outdoor lunch...tuna salad for me...schnitzel for Lar.
