I know that the New Year has come and gone, but I still have some Christmas photos to show you–better late than never!  Jason snapped this first one as we were driving along taking in the sights (we did stop and get out of the car; not even Jason has that steady a hand).  He likes his sunflare shots, and what can I say, he’s darn good at them.  The second and third shots were taken while we were walking around in Salzburg, Austria.  If you look closely at the yellow building there you will see that it reads “Mozarts Geburtshaus”.  Mozart was born here on January 27, 1756.  This just goes to show how cool people born in January are

These next three photos were taken at a coffee shop we stopped at on our way to Kufstein.  We weren’t in Kufstein yet, but I can’t remember exactly where we were…Tyler, Antje–chime in if you know!  If you notice below, Jason managed to get a shot of all four of us!  The white and yellow church was right across the street from the coffee shop.

This last shot was actually in Kufstein.  Jason took it while we were on our way to this cozy little restaurant for a bowl of the Knoblauchsuppe that Tyler kept raving about.  It was very delicious, but that wasn’t the best part.  The owner of this restaurant was quite the practical joker.  When he brought out Antje’s hot tea, he was holding a decoy teacup and saucer in his other hand and he proceeded to drop this one in her lap, with the most horrified look on his face.  Needless to say, the cup was empty and was connected to the saucer with a piece of string.  We all laughed hysterically after we realized that Antje was not actually burned by boiling water.  In case we didn’t already love the guy, he had another trick up his sleeve.  While we were all enjoying our Knoblauchsuppe, our table suddenly lifted up from the ground a few feet.  Jason’s first reaction was to push down on it, thinking that it might be tipping over.  That night is one I’ll always look back upon with a big smile.   All-in-all our time in Bavaria (and Austria) was absolutely wonderful and went by much too quickly, but hopefully we can visit again before too long!  Thanks for looking through the last of our Christmas photos!
