2003 Europe trip

 Europe 2003

What a beautiful Christmas we had this year!!  We spent the holidays in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.  Our trip started in Leipzig, Germany, where we spent 3 wonderful days visiting with Fernando, staying at his apartment, visiting the Max Planck Institute(where Fernando and Eva worked), attending a Ballet (Der Schwanensee) and getting to know Leipzig a little.  We'll never forget buying a huge tropical plant (wrapped well!) for Fernando's apartment, and carrying it home in a heavy snow storm. 

After Leipzig,  Fernando came with us as we traveled to the Czech Republic and then to Austria.  We enjoyed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - Salzburg.  Our hotel was on the Linzergasse and how beautiful it was there, with the street and everything all decorated for the Christmas season. 
After Christmas, we drove to Fusch, Austria, where Vicki's Mom is from.  We spent 3 beautiful days there in the mountains and in the snow.  The day we went up to Bad Fusch was a beautiful snowy day and we felt like we were in a winter wonderland as we walked back down to Fusch.  It was the EXACT weather we had been hoping for.
From Fusch, we went to Zell am See where we took a train to Basel, Switzerland and spent a few days with Vicki's brother Andrew.  Guillermo and Vicki welcomed the new year watching fireworks on the banks of the Rhein River.
