Getting up this morning was strange. I was getting up first the first time in a long time, by myself. I showered and did the usual thing and headed to Cafe Katzung for an Austrian pasty (Indianer) and a cup of Earl Grey. After this quick breakfast I decided to walk to the Bergisel – the Olympic ski jump. It's quite a walk as its over 2 kilometers across town from the hotel. It took about 30 minutes to walk to the area. In the area were also Wilterner Basilica and the Stift Wilten. I realized upon getting to the area that the last mile or so was straight up a hill. I took several pictures of this as there were signs showing adults walking hand in hand with children. I'd like to see a child walk that hill. Man, what a hike. Upon getting to the top, it was worth the work. The Olympic torch braziers were there and at the base of the braziers is a list of the medal winners in the 1976 Olympics. The USA did not do too well but it was pretty cool seeing D. Hamill for the gold medal in women's figure skating. Very cool. I took a lot of pictures of the ski jump. It's more crazy in person than on TV. Not only do you have the 130 meter jump but at Innsbruck you have the backdrop of the city below you, adding to the vertical feel. I took the tram to the top of the hill and then the elevator to the top of the slope tower. I looked around the observation deck and then went to the cafe for some food. I had potato soup and orange juice. Don't ask. Then I walked myself all the way back down and back to the hotel.
