Day Trip to Innsbruck

Anna and I decided to take a little day trip to Innsbruck, Austria, on our "weekend".  We walked around the cute little down a little bit and saw a few of the tourist sights. It was a beautiful, sunny day... perfect for our little trip!

One of the street performers... Dorothy and Todo


Innsbruck is home to Swarovski crystal, so we took a trip to Kristallwelten or "crystal world." It is a very unique museum with more crystals than I've ever seen, including the biggest crystal in the world...300,000 karats.  
The entrance to Crystal World...a face made with crystals. 

We headed back to Garmisch and had a slight panic when the border police stopped us on the train and asked for our passports.... which we forgot to bring because it's only an hour train ride and we've never been checked.   Luckily, they had a little sympathy for us and just told us that next time we must bring them.   For a second we thought we might end up in German prison! Sadly, I left my Swarovski earrings that I purchased on the train... oops.
