Day 153 — St. Anton, Skiing Day 1
02-January-1972 (Sun.)
My first
day of skiing at the wonderful resort of St. Anton,
an international skiing mecca for the rich and famous
(and a poor American student studying in Vienna). I
take ski lessons again and spend the day skiing all
over St. Anton. Nice.

Day 150: Lord of Wagner's Ring
Day 150 — Lord of Wagner's Ring
30-December-1971 (Thur.)
Before
the Lord
of the Rings movies,
there was
Richard Wagner’s Ring
Cycle. I go to
see the first opera, Das
Rheingold. Although
there is no CGI (computer-graphic imagery) in these
operas, as in the movie, the live staging and effects
that an opera company often produces for a Wagnerian
opera can often be quite dramatic and inspiring.
What do these girls (above) have to do with Wagner? Nothing. A Montclair State friend, Lucille, informs me that they are heading to Munich soon. Yay.

Day 83 — Celebrating the spirit of humanity
24-October-1971 (Sun.)
I’m
sightseeing in Baden, Austria today and spend the day
walking and getting some well-needed exercise. I
rediscover the beauty of nature and the spirit of
humankind. People are people, and kids are kids—all
over the world. Something to remember.
Plenty of beautiful autumn-like pictures today. Also check out the photos and slide shows today.

Day 069: The early bird gets the book
Day 69 — The early bird gets the book
10-October-1971 (Sun.)
Today is
such a jam-packed day—from the early-bird in line for
tickets, to a morning mass, reading books, walking in
the park, taking pictures, and ending with a night
opera—today was, well, jam-packed.
I take a tangent on the benefits of reading. I’ll throw in a bunch of pictures if you promise to read about reading.

Day 018: Salzburg, Austria; first train trip

Day 18 — Salzburg, Austria; first train trip
20-August-1971 (Fri.)
Mozart’s
birth city — Salzburg, Austria. I take my first train
ride, totally standing up, to this wonderful city.
Salzburg welcomes me with a hail storm and no student
service to help me. What to do? Find a room, walk
around, listen to music, and enjoy. Which I do.
Photography is my hobby and Salzburg is a great place to take photographs. (Photos coming soon.) If you aren’t already taking digital pictures, you should be. Come on. Pictures are memories!

Day 13 — Vienna Woods, Kahlenburg
15-August-1971 (Sun.)
A quiet
day of walking in the Vienna Woods, and then up the
winding path to see a view of Vienna and outlying
vineyards from the heights of Kahlenburg. An
enjoyable day.
A little bit of an aside on my interest in photography and the Kodak slides that are from 36 years ago, and Austrians.
