Another gift,another trip.

Another gift that arrived on St. Valentine's day again for my birthday was from my dear life long pen friend from Austria, Sigrid. We had met once for a while years ago and again last summer when we were invited by dear Sigrid and her family to spend a week in Austria. We had a great time and visited some lovely places. So here is a short tour of Austria as we saw it. Hopefully we will meet again soon.

 I think one of the most difficult things to take a photo of is a Swarowski crystal!Isn't it sweet?I loved it!

 And here are some photos from Austria.
The forest near Sigrid's house in Linz.
