Visit To Austria

The flight to Austria with the teachers,
We shared accomodation when we landed.

I signed up for ski lessons instead taking a tour of Salzburg.
Two weeks of lessons and we were destined to ski the highest mountain in Austria.

The Patscherkoepfle  was  the tallest mountain in Austria,
 I said I am only skiing halfway,

We went to a restaurant, a friend and I, had a delicious lunch with our instructor,
I would travel dressed in my red hat and red ski sweater and black ski slacks and boots.

Skis on my back and i walk to the mountain for classes.
After we would go for a glass of wine.

I bought a beautiful dirndl, which they wear in Austria,
Two beautiful pictures for my parents, which they put in their hallway.

What good memories I have of this trip,
I thank God for the good memories.
