Rain

We only left the hostel today to get food and cheap internet cause it is Campbell-River-raining here in Salzburg. It started yesterday while I was in the hostel waiting for Eric to return from a mountain hike that I didn't mention until I knew he was home safe cause I was worried and didn't want anyone else to worry in case I mentioned it and then didn't get back online to post about his safe-ness. Anyway, it was thundering and lightning and he did end up stuck in the rain but he'd seen it coming and rushed down the mountain and so it was mostly just while walking between the villages back to the bus stop that he got completely soaked. Oh, and it's been a while since he climbed around like that so he's pretty sore today, silly boy. We were going to go check out some ice caves today but we didn't want to take a tour cause it's expensive and then we didn't feel like dealing with the weather once we woke up so we played cards with this brother and sister we met from calgary and then the four of us left for, like I said, food and internet.
This isn't the first rain we've encountered or anything. It rained a bit in Rome, again while we were on trains a few times, and it rained one night in Prague. But this is the first time that we've actually had a yucky day due to rain. That's why it was post-worthy.
I did go on the Sound of Music tour yesterday while Eric was mountain-ing and it was pretty cool. One of the non-Sound stops we made was at this summer slide thing which was awesome. It's like the tubes at Mt. Washington to get up (sit on slide, attach to thing that pulls) and then some guy helps at the top to get us situated in the half-tube on our sleds. There was a brake pole and I have to admit that the second half of the ride would have been better if I hadn't got scared around one corner and braked too much... but it was still awesome.
We're going to Munich tomorrow and that should be good. We've decided to stay there longer and go straight to Amsterdam after that, so those of you who are following where I said we might be can make that adjustment, lol.
Having fun!
