Lazying around Innsbruck

We've realized that some of our best times are just hanging out around the Karwendel (hotel) and in Innsbruck. This week we've just gone to classes and hung out. We had a speaker yesterday on hate speech and how it's dealt with on an international level. He's a judge in Austria; but I had a pretty hard time understanding his accent most of the time. Without air conditioning, it's like 1000 degrees in the classrooms. Liz and I decided we are going to have to get Europe to want more for themselves, like ice! You can't even buy it at the grocery store.

Last night, about ten of us went to the Hofgarten. I told you we really liked it. We also had ribs again. They have a Tuesday special 6 of any type of drink for 10 Euros, so I think it will probably be a regular thing for the group. Thomas taught us our new favorite game. Basically, one person thinks of a word and gives you the first letter. Everyone else playing gets to ask a question, like if it starts with C, "Is it something you can drink?" Then the person whose word it is has to say.."No, its not a coke." If they can't think of what it is, the people in the group that know it have to say it at the same time. Then the person whose word it is has to give you another letter. It sounds silly, but it really is fun. The Hofgarten turns into a club at night, so we danced and people iced other people and it was pretty much like every other night. Then we went to Safari again and the boys played pool. Liz and I decided to go home because we always like to get in bed and chat late night.

Tonight, we are going on a lantern hike. Not quite sure what that entails, but I've been told it involves walking up a mountain at night and at the top is food, drink, and music. We're also going to reserve our sleeper cars for our trip to Italy this weekend. All of the guys are coming!
