Happy New Year

Last night we celebrated New Year starting with hot soup and hot apple cider by a crackling fire. Later we had a wonderful multi-course dinner in the Gastube and a walk up the hill to the Chapel to ring in the New Year. This is my 3rd time here for New Year's Week and it was fun, as usual, but I must admit I missed my lady back home in NJ. One day I hope to take that walk with her.

Last night was a Blue Moon and when the fog banks would pass you could see the snow capped Austrian Alps in the background bathed in moonlight. I tried to take a picture, but without a tripod it was virtually impossible. Today we go back to work at 2:30 and I would like to pick out a new project for the last day and a half.
