A "drive-by shooting"...by the camera of course, of the beautiful country-side in Italy.
The majestic, saw-tooth Dolomites.
Gorgeous mountains everywhere, framed by gigantic evergreens.
All of us in front of a grouping of peaks called 'Cristallo' in the Dolomites.

We spent the late morning and early afternoon exploring a little of Bolzano. They were having a city festival with live Oompa bands. We mainly wanted to see the original "Ice man", Oetzi which was located at the South Tirol Museum of Archaeology. We couldn't take pictures in the museum unfortunately. The frozen Oetzi was found in 1991 along the Italian/ Austrian border high in the mountains, and is a 5,300 year old ice mummy complete with clothing and gear. The museum had alot of artifacts and had a nice description of the evolution of man.

The Alps surround the city of Innsbruck.

This weekend the Miller family decided to take a "quick" jaunt to Innsbruck, Austria and drive to the Dolomites in Italy. From Tuebingen to Innsbruck is about a 4 hour drive. We stayed the night in Innsbruck and woke up to partly cloudy skies and the beautiful Alps. Innsbruck was the site of previous winter Olympics and is a lovely medieval city. We walked around the city in the morning and then drove to Bolzano, Italy. The Tirol region is bicultural with locals speaking German and Italian.

I am working really hard to get my bottom tooth!

Which way to the Autobahn?

Meet Isabelle's new attitude...

Isabelle loves to take her bath with Allie. The bathtub is about half the size in Germany, but that doesn't stop Isabelle from attempting to swim in it!

Looking into our living/dining room. The "couch" is actually a futon.
Looking at the other end of our living/dining room. The door leads out to the shared garden and patio.
The kitchen...very modern.

Standing in the patio looking toward our neighbor's "yard". The house we live in is actually half of one building. Our next door neighbors are very nice and are all related to each other.
