Skiing at Schlitz 2000 in the Stubaital

These are Jim's photos from his skiing today. He said the snow was fantastic and powdery up to his knees!


Yesterday was a quiet day. It was rainy, cold and gray. The good news is that the rain down here in the valley was snow up in the mountains, Jim said there was 8 inches of new snow. We went shopping in Innsbruck, to our favorite market stalls, and then went to the movies. We found a really nice cinema near the Altstadt. It is a multiplex and they have different movies every day. We saw "P.S. I love you." It had a great cast (Hilary Swank, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jr.) but the movie itself was vacuous. But we will definitely go back to that cinema. They show movies in English as well as German. We saw the German-dubbed version and Jim and I both understood everything perfectly.

I made seeded crackers today, from a recipe that Jim's cousin Otto Sagmeister gave me (verbally.) They came out okay, not as good as Otto made them. But I think I know now what to do to improve the outcome and will definitely make them again. Jim said they are quite good enough to eat! I also make Schnitzel and potato salad from Otto's recipes.
