Day 159 — St. Anton—Ingrid? Innsbruck—Elisabeth?
08-January-1972 (Samstag—Sat.)
So who is
Ingrid? I love that name. Why didn’t I marry her?
Well, she was one of the English girls I danced with
last night. So, I leave Ingrid in St. Anton; make
plans to meet her in England in the summer; take the
train to Innsbruck; have dinner with Elisabeth; make
plans to meet her during Easter. I’m either
incredibly suave, handsome, and debonair, with all
the pretty women, or I’m extremely naïve, don’t get
it, and can’t figure out what is going on.
I think that, even today, I’m still incredibly naïve (with women). And I still can’t figure them out. Everything’s normal.

Day 156 — Great skiing; world conversations
05-January-1972 (Mittwock—Wed.)
Today is
an amazing day of skiing that brings me down the
backside of the mountain and many miles away from St.
Anton. How amazing is that?
At dinner, I come face-to-face with the emotion behind the conflict in Northern Ireland between the Irish Catholics and the British. At the same dinner table. A true-life learning experience.

Day 155 — I’m in a fog; I’m naked next to a girl
04-January-1972 (Dienstag—Tue.)
I’m in a
fog today. Literally. As I don’t want to ski off of a
cliff, I decided to spend the whole day with the ski
class. I talk about money a bit.
Oh, and one of my fantasies almost comes to life—standing naked next to a beautiful girl in a white nurse's outfit, next to a sign that says “Massage.”

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 152: Glückliches Neues Jahr; New Year’s Day concert; off to St. Anton
Day 152 — Glückliches Neues Jahr; New Year’s Day
concert; off to St. Anton
01-January-1972 (Sat.)
What a
day! That’s how I end today’s reflections. I get into
standing room for the world-famous New Year’s Day
concert by the Vienna Philharmonic that features
waltzes and polkas by Johann Strauss’ I and II, dad
and son. What fun! Then, I head off on the train to
the Austrian Alps, stop in Innsbruck to give
Elisabeth a gift, and then head on to the
world-famous ski resort of St. Anton for a week of
skiing.
What a day! What a year!

Day 129 — Planning for St. Anton
09-December-1971 (Thur.)
I make reservations to ski at St. Anton in the Austrian Alps. (Wait until you see the pictures.) I am nervous about the money, but hope it will be worth it.
My French horn needs some fixing. Oh boy.
