Last Day of Skiing and Back to Landshut

We got an early start today, swapped my boots for a larger pair and were back on the slopes. Today, the weather was divine: sunny but still cold and the snow was freshly groomed. We worked our way to the sunny side mountains and skied around there most of the day. We debated how many Quanods were in the Micheal Bublé song (Manueal was right with the 3), Nic and Manual tried to sing Winter Wonderland, but I ruined their fun by singing a lot of Schnappi (http://www.schnappi.tv/neues.php). We went to a close by Alm for lunch (I had Germknodel) then we skied until we darkness was absolute. Later, we headed back to Manual’s favorite Alm where we ran into a bunch of Bavarians. Manuel thought they were Swebbish at first, which would have made it harder to be their friends. They were totally rowdy, and when I tried English, they all started laughing and told me to take the bubble gum out of my mouth. Manuel explained that Germans have this idea that Americans talk like their jaw is stuck, but this is still better than how the British speak. I somehow earned the nickname Mr. Chicago, and an accompanying song where the only English I understood was “May there always be a Mr. Chicago!” I think they were calling Nic John Wayne, but I was totally confused by the whole affair.
Again, another night skiing venture down to the “Hut” where we watched Tomorrow Never Dies in German (at least it wasn’t Viva La Bam, which is a horrendous show and is on way too often here). Manual’s dad arrived; we helped him settle in before heading out to check out the town nightlife for our last night here in Kitzbürg. We went to a Highway, a bar where we there were some people who “Weren’t bad looking for Austrians.” Are Austrians supposed to be hideous or something?
After a long drive back to Landshut, with a quick stop by a Austrian castle where Manual reenacted the Bavarian invasion, we had a huge lunch/dinner back at the Schatner household before heading to the castle tour in the city. The castle tour will be told in the form of a short narrative in the a few following entries. Some names have been changed in order to protect their true identities…
