Yesterday, Saturday, I went on an amazing hike in the mountains to this waterfall! Most of it was frozen over, but some water was still streaming down. We stood at the base of the waterfall - where there would have been tons of water. It had just snowed the night before, again, so the trees are so nicely covered. The hike up the mountain was really hard, but so invigorating. Some people climbed the sides of the waterfall, too. There was a part in the iced waterfall where we looked into and could see all the way up and really far down (until it was too dark to see). Hopefully, I'll get to see the waterfall again, when it is not frozen.
Friday, I took the train to Salzburg to see Uncle Jeff and Aunt Debe. It was so good to see family - I was so happy it worked out. All the connections were easy and even though our meeting spot didn't exist, we still found each other. We walked around the old city, through all the squares and into all the churches. It was really great to go again, without a huge group (like the school last time we went). We went below the Salzburg Cathedral (which I hadn't before) - it was really cool under there, quiet and peaceful. It also had a work of art down there that I thought was pretty random (see picture). Little peoople or insects and their shadows made by a tea candle. Uncle Jeff did basically all of the tour guiding and we had a lot of fun trying to figure out where things are and what things were. Also, I got to ride the train a lot, which is so relaxing :).
Today, I have a lot of homework to do, but doing homework here is pretty exciting, since I'm in Gaming. The snow is melting again, a little, but I don't believe it's for good. It keeps melting and then snowing all the next day. We have a lot of avalanches here - from the roofs of the Kartause. There's a rumbling noise and then a shower of snow or ice. It is quite startling at times. Well, have a wonderful Sunday!
