GOOD MORNING
WE ARE PRESENTLY IN VIENNA 10:00AM. LAST NIGHT WE
PLAYED OUR 3 GAME. SO FAR WE ARE 1-1-1. OUR FIRST GAME
OUTSIDE OF MUNICH, WHICH WE PLAYED SHORTLY AFTER
ARRIVING WAS A 7-7 TIE. VERY GOOD COMPETETION. WE
SPENT A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN THE HAUFBRAU HOUSE,
DRINKING GIANT BEERS AND EATING PRETZELS AND DAMSELS
IN DISTRESS ETC. IT HAS BEEN COLDER THAN USUAL AND
UNLIKE LAST TRIP, THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW EVERYWHERE.
OUR SECOND GAME WAS OUTSIDE OF SALZ BURG, A TOWN
CALLED ZELL AM SEE. WHICH IS ZELL BY THE LAKE. WE
DIDN'T PLAY VERY WELL AND WERE BEATEN BY A QUICKER
YOUNGER TEAM 6-4 ALTHOUGH WE SCORED 2 LATE GOALS TO
MAKE IT CLOSE,WE REALLY WEREN'T IN THIS GAME AT ALL.
SALZBURG BREATH TAKINGICTURESC, NARROW COBBLESTONE
STREETS, QUAINT SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS EVERYWHERE. WE
DID A LOT OF WALKING AROUND HOWEVER IT WAS A LITTLE
NIPPY. WE VISITED A SALT MINE, WALK THROUGH THE
TUNNELS ETC., THE MINE DATES BACK 2500 YEARS AND HAS
AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY. AT ONE POINT WE WERE OVER 600
FEET DEEP AND ACTUALLY CROSSED OVER INTO GERMANY
UNDERGROUND AND THEN BACK INTO AUSTRIA. WE SPENT SOME
TIME IN A LOCAL IRISH BAR, LOTS OF LAUGHS AND MONEY
WAS SPENT FREELY. SALZBURG IS WHERE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
THE SOUND OF MUSIC WAS FILMED. THE BUS RIDE TO VIENNA
WAS VERY LONG, WE SPENT A TOTAL OF 7+ HOURS ON THE
BUS. THE GAME LAST NIGHT WAS 1.5 HOURS AWAY FROM
VIENNA, AND WE FINALLY PLAYED A GOOD GAME ALTHOUGH I
THINK WE GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY, FINAL SCORE 21-3.
WE ATE AT AN INCREDIBLE RESTAURANT LAST NIGHT, FOOD
PORTIONS WE GIGANTIC, MY BILL FOR DINNER, 4 HUGE
BEERS, WAS 20 EUROS, OR APPROX 32 CANADIAN.
TODAY WE HAVE A 2 HOUR TOUR OF THE CITY AND FROM WHAT
I HAVE SEEN THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF OLD TREMENDOUS
BUILDINGS HERE. WE PLAY TONIGHT IN VIENNA, LEAVE
TOMORROW FOR PRAGUE AND PLAY TOMORROW NIGHT.
I WILL TRY AND SEND ANOTHER UPDATE BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR
CANADA.
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE AND WILL SEE YOU ALL
SOON.
