Day 140 — Skiing, Elisabeth, naked men in a sauna
20-December-1971 (Mon.)
I have an
extremely long journal post today. Why? I love
Innsbruck. It was an incredible fun-filled day. From
rain in Innsbruck to snow in Seegrube, to the extreme
but pleasant torture of an Innsbruck health
spa—complete with sauna, cold bath, hot and cold foot
and body baths, and naked men in saunas.
There is only one Austrian in my ski class. She is a good-looking Austrian girl, Elisabeth. She becomes my skiing partner and a welcomed source of information on Innsbruck. When I said, “Where can I run around naked with a bunch of old men?,” she was right there pointing me to the health spa. Only kidding.

Day 139 — Innsbruck: Seegrube Ski School
19-December-1971 (Sun.)
My first
day of skiing in the Austrian Alps is at Seegrube. I
take lessons to improve my paralleling—after all this
is Austria. If they can’t teach me to ski, no one
can. I love it. I love the fresh air. Just thinking
about it, I want to go back. Right now!

18-December-1971 (Sat.)
I’m in
Innsbruck. Yay, my first look at the Austrian Alps,
or any Alps for that matter. A little bit of
sightseeing and then I get ready for some exciting
skiing tomorrow. St. Anne's column in Innsbruck's old
town is a well-known landmark.

Day 092: Tights, tutus, and tippie-toes
Day 92 —Tights, tutus, and tippie-toes
02-November-1971 (Tue.)
Excitement
stirs. Plans for a skiing vacation are formulating. I
talk a bit about my regret of not traveling more in
life. Damn Euro/dollar ratio. Damn time.
I enjoy my first ballet in Vienna—Swan Lake. There are men in tights, women in tutus, and lots of tippie-toes.
