A Few of My Favourite Things

Since we are currrently in Austria, the title of this post is referring mainly to schnitzel with noodles (although I am also partial to crisp apple strudel). As a diversion from our solitary travels, we spent the day yesterday with my wife's cousin at their chalet near Salzburg.

The big revelation for me in this part of the trip has been the affinity that Austrians have for Lederhosen. The owner of the alpine restaurant where we ate lunch had a traditional pair, but our twentyish waitress also had on a pair of leather shorts (in a somewhat more groovy style). We have even seen other tourists sporting this outfit.
