This whole stay in Vail has been a big commercial for Austria. Everywhere we go, its either owned by Austrians or reminds me of Austria.
Few Highlights:
1. Hotel Arrabelle is designed after buildings in Innsbruck, Austria
2. Swiss Chalet, has Austrian Red Wine
3. A lot of the hotel staff is from Germany and Austria
4. My allergies are as bad as they were in Austria
5. Classical Music is as popular here as in Austria, more about Beethoven here however than Strauss
Unscripted question: Why are there so many europeans here?
Answer: A lot of hotels and restaurants are owned by Germans here. Most people come on J1 Visa through a middle company that takes money from the hotel and from the people, the biggest one being Weise Corporation. Some come on a year visa and some just get married and settle down, like our server at Swiss Chalet.
Now about my trip so far, yesterday we did a 10 mile bike ride around Dillon Lake. The lake has two marinas and a beautiful bike trail from one Marina to the other. We rode from Frisco Marina to Dillon Marina.
The Dillon Marina - Tiki Bar is set in the most amazing valley with view of snow capped mountains and the lake and boats.
We did get hit by the thunderstorms and the rain drops really were heavy, almost like Hail. It stopped in a matter for 10 minutes but we were soaked through and through. The wind was very strong, so we were dry as quickly as we were wet. Quite interesting weather patterns.
I havent talked about the car I have rented this week. I am using all my hertz points to rent a Camaro SS, specifically because I kept seeing it on the Transformers commercials and since it was releasing this weekend, I wanted to rent the car.
The windows are so small, its almost impossible to see clearly .. but the seats are probably the most comfortable lumbar support seats I have seen. The power of the car is something I havent had with any other car, specially when trying to pass someone on the interstate, it will go from 0-60 in matter of seconds!
We went to see Transformers yesterday in Edwards CO, the movie was actually pretty bad.. probably the worst movie this summer. I am striking out with movies this week, saw Knight and Day on HBO the other day, probably the worst movie of the year!
Aight, time to get moving.. Off to Sweetwater River Ranch today, probably some hikes and maybe horse riding!
