Happy Thanksgiving (Pumpkin Pie Included)


We woke up at the Golden Alder Hotel located in Innsbruck, Austria this morning. After pulling curtains back a most beautiful view was at hand, breathtaking Alps surrounded us. Bright, blue sky and crisp air accented mountain magic. Morning brunch was bountiful, like Thanksgiving should be, so we overate and then wandered
around cobblestone streets.





Christmas markets were set up already selling decorations, toys and most importantly Gluhwein. Wednesday night after arriving, we stood under a heater (and the stars) sipping a steaming mug of wine. Tyrolean culture folklore dominated themed booths.






By noon we were driving over the Brenner Pass en route to Italy. LeCrumb Cafe had stocked pumpkin pie , so we devoured it out of its tin, without whipped cream, as an afternoon snack. Very thankfully we celebrated the holiday in style. (what kind of style I'm not sure)

Pumpkin pasta at "Alla Borsa" in Valleggio sul Mincio, Italy completed our Thanksgiving feasting.

PS. We hope you all enjoyed watching the Macy's Parade today!
