Driving through Austria was pristine! The hills were alive with the sound of cowbells. These bovines had a phenomenal view of the Bavarian Alps. We simply picked an off-road and traveled to the top to find this view. There was a curious old Austrian gentlemen sitting on his bench on his porch when we pulled over. He did not speak a lick of english. I greeted him with a smile and told him that his house was beautiful. Every house in this little mountainside neighborhood was spectacular. I loved how each home had a perfectly stacked wood pile. The cowbells were a wonderful background sound. The grass was so green. Flashback to the many times I have watched the Sound of Music. ~Bethany
