12:15am

Well it’s the 4^th of July in America right now, while here in Salzburg there ain’t nuttin’ going on. We left at 10:30am for the ice caves after eating a great meal. Fresh buns with marmalade (or meat and cheese) and three cups of good coffee. We met these people this morning named Dan and Lisa, which are brother and sister. We hooked up with them and we had a blast. Same exact points of view, and cool games and conversations. A lot of slang for once.

The ice caves were excellent for $25.00 (260 Dutch Marks). We went 1km into it (6,000ft?) and it still went in 44 more kilometers. One third of it has not even been searched yet.

We ended up coming back to town for dinner and with all the walking we made it back her at 11:00pm. One long day of nothing.

Tomorrow we hit breakfast and board the train to Vienna (Wien) an 8:30am, It’s cool that we’re going with these people because they’re so cool. Dan’s into the semi-punk scene as well so he used to have a Mohawk and the whole nine yards. Se we talk about music a lot. They’re both about 20-22 maybe? I don’t really know or care but happy 4^th of July anyways. I only spent $70.00 here for two days including sleep prices.

I miss Rachel…

Dan told us that it’s dangerous to carry “the stuff” with us through all the countries- especially Turkey which is an automatic imprisonment or sometimes death to be caught with any amounts of a drug, so we’re trying to figure out where to send it home from. Probably Germany tomorrow. It’s in a Peanut Butter jar. {This last part was added to the journal a few weeks later}

{Aside from running through the rain, my favorite memory of Salzburg is waking up one morning and jumping on the bed listening to ‘I Wouldn’t Normally Do this Kind of Thing’ by the Pet Shop Boys while everyone else was in the bathroom. Oh, and their Yellow Pages translation of “Let Your Fingers Do the Walking” was “Lub die Fingers fer Dich Suchen.” I’ll never forget that.}
