Located in the heart of the Alps, Innsbruck is a place one never forgets visiting. A rare charm, combining city and nature. Our time spent here was well worth it. Beautiful snow capped mountains and blue sky supplied the canvas.
Sunday (Palm Sunday) we participated in a procession celebrating the coming of spring and marking the beginning of Holy Week. Austrians invited us tourists to join them journeying down one of Europe's most
awesome pathways, Maria-Theresien Strasse. Church bells
and chimes from all over Innsbruck greeted people as the procession entered St. James Cathedral.
An Easter market began after services. One could purchase a bit of spring to take home. Cups of cappucino (and one Coke) were sipped at a lovely outdoor cafe on the plaza. Sunshine, the impact of a well done religious ceremony, and fellowship; life does not get any better! We all were aware of that and appreciated the moment (very much)!
