Traveling with a View
Train travel is a peaceful, relaxing method of transportation. Austrian and German trains are timely, efficient, comfortable, quiet, clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the past weeks’ excursions via the rail. We had the erroneous idea we would get a lot of reading done on the train, but when it was daylight, instead of having our noses in books, they were pressed against the windows. 
Looking down the tracks from the last car (which sometimes is the first car). A cool view.
Breathtaking mountains between Leoben and Salzburg
A winter wonderland between Salzburg and Linz
Along the Danube outside of Linz
Sunset between Linz and Frankfurt
Surprisingly green fields in the Moselle river valley
Beautiful river villages along the Rhine on the way to Trier
Farmland just outside of Munich - doesn't it look a bit like Nebraska?
This incongruous juxtaposition struck us as tragically surreal.
Almost home - about 45 minutes outside of Wien - the lovely Falkenstein. The plethora of deer and peasant in this area should also be noted - it was hard to keep Travis on the train.
