Cold, Christian, Christmas Vacation



For the holidays this year we decided that we would like to go somewhere cold and somewhere that celebrated Christmas as a Christian holiday. So we came to where it all began. Sunday we flew to Munich, Germany and drove down to a beautiful ski resort in Kitzbühel, Austria. We realized quickly that we had taken car of the cold part as the temperature hovers between 15 and 28*F, with snow everywhere. We also took care of the Christian and Christmas aspect as well as there are churches everywhere along with Christmas decorations and shopping markets in every little town. Craig and I plan to hit the slopes everyday while Jayme and Katie check out the markets and the shops. After losing our friends Craig and Katie to the island life, it has been nice to spend some time with them before we head back to the states. It is also a good time to get in some R&R as we will hit the ground running once we get home. When we leave Austria on Saturday, we hope to make stops in Italy and Switzerland before returning back to Germany to do some sightseeing. And then it’s back to Adana, where we will have 2 days to finish packing and saying our goodbyes before making the flight back over the water to the homeland.
