Priceless Memories.

I am kind of a history nut, as many of my friends will tell you. It seems as though they are always catching me at my worst, reading some dorky historical article, looking up out dated terms on the internet, or speaking with others about historical matters. I kind of have to laugh at the thought of it, as I do not think of myself as that big of a historical nerd. I just really love researching into past events and how they have shaped the communities that we now know. While I have never been professionally trained, I have probably read more historical material than anyone that you know. With that being said, I suppose you will understand why I decided to take a trip to Austria last April.


I had actually been planning this trip for several years, but as with many people I know, careers tend to get in the way. Austria is a place that is not only rich in history, but also has one of the largest archival collections that I have ever come across. I had been eyeing up the Tyrolean state museum from a distance for some time, eager to dive into all it had to offer. Wanting to be as close as possible to this particular museum, I booked an innsbruck hotel. While I did consider staying at the hilton hotel vienna, as I have heard nothing but great things about it, it was a little further away than I desired at this time. Anyway, I enjoyed my time at my museum and have come to love everything about Austria. It has something for everyone, whether you are young or old, history buff, economic freak, or just looking to relax. I can honestly say that a trip to Austria is money well spent, and the memories are priceless.
