We took a few days off last week and went up to Austria. We named our trip Kraustria. Can you feel the originality and creativity oozing out here on the digital page? I’ve added some photos of this beautiful country and other photos of our family on the trip in the gallery as well.. The weather and beauty were fantastic for us and we had a wonderful time.
Here are a couple interesting tid-bits about Austria:

  • There are numerous types of schnitzels — chicken, beef, pork etc. — and they eat it like Italians eat pasta.
  • The Austrian military is drawing down from 110,000 troops to 55,000 troops. Why? because everybody else around them is “NATO”.
  • Austria has fabulous golf — if you’re so inclined. And if you are so inclined, be prepared to be inclined as a number of their courses are for billy-goats.
  • The toll to drive through Austria is $11.30. The toll to drive in Austria is $10.40. Coming or going, you’ll help them build their tunnels.
  • You’ll pay about 20 cents for Ketchup at McDonalds in Austria.
  • A bottle of water can run you $2 - $5 in many locations. We love their grocery stores.
  • Deodarant is just being discovered in this nation.

    • While Austria is a wonderful place to vacation, its people are lost without Christ. There are a number of missionaries and pastors in that land. Will you pray for Austria and its messengers today?
