Faktoria - Innsbruck, Austria (Day 2 of 2)

Lunch was Goulash

 As predicted today is a rainy, cold day.  It’s just drizzling in the morning, but inside activities are going to be better.  The Tyrol Folk Museum looks to be about the best bet.  Never really been museum people, but it’s better than standing in the rain, actually it turns out way better.  One corridor takes you through a year of Tyrolean life (Christmas, Easter, etc, etc) another through a Tyrolean life (birth, marriage, death, afterlife, etc).  Commingled with the exhibits were several stubes (parlors) from different homes built in the 1500’s to the 1700’s.  All with carved wood walls and ceilings and huge porcelain stoves. 

Back to the Altstadt for lunch.  All the tables under the umbrellas were taken but we found an empty table under an arch.  Ten minutes later, the heavens opened, and everyone scrambled except us.  We finished our lunch in moderate dryness.


Back to the Altstadt for dinner.  Indoors this time for Thai food.  Unfortunately, it was difficult to get around because there were so many people there for the Gassen Fest (Street Fair).  Wait, wait…the Gassen Fest is where people buy glasses of wine for next to nothing and stand around drinking.  Deb’s not sure, but I think we can handle this, at least for a little while!  


The rain finally cleared in the evening, and we saw that the mountain we climbed yesterday was covered with snow!

Tomorrow, Interlaken, Switzerland
