Innsbruck, Austria
Innsbruck was the very first Austrian city I had ever visited. Marc and I traveled to this beautiful city after spending a few days in Northern Italy. Marc had insisted on driving throughout our second vacation to Europe together and I would be lying if I said that it was a blast. I found it terrifying and dangerous. Arriving in Austria was lovely. It was less chaotic, calmer, and more organized there than Northern Italy. Just what I was used to in the US.
