Bike trips

Spring in Salzburg!
Just before Easter break, Austria experienced a heat wave.  We (the assistants) decided to take advantage of that fact and bike to strange places around the city.  Maija and I biked to a rather disappointing little lake where we stumbled upon way too many men in speedos that were way to small.  There are no pictures of that particular experience, for which you should be grateful.  The next day we biked to the next town, Hallein, which normally takes about an hour but we managed to make it take almost three.  Our third bike adventure was to Hellbrunn palace, where we wandered the gardens and searched high and low for ice cream before heading back to Salzburg for a cold beer at the Augustinerbräu.  Ah, what a difficult life I lead.

My bike! It has two fairly flat tires and is stuck on the highest gear, but it gets me where I need to go.

The house that was used as the front of the Von Trapp's in the Sound of Music.  Naturally, it's covered in scaffolding

Not on our bike trip.  We thought this man was homeless until he whipped out an amazing camera and started taking pictures of the swans.
