For New Year's Eve, we celebrated in Feld Am See with some Austrians, Brits, and New Zealanders (so ENGLISH yay!!). I tried to separate mzself from my dad as much as possible because people continually ask us if we are a couple or if I'm his wife. It's like, GO DAD since people think he can snag a young pretty girl like me, but for me it's like EWWW that's my DAD. Instead, I plazed WII with Florian and two other kids, so I skewed the age range slightly, but you really can't hate on the WII. They're too much fun, even if I am still horrible at Mario Kart.
At midnight we ventured out into the cold and watched the different firework displays (thank you kind neighbors for putting on a good, free show for all of us). Sadly, it was terribly foggy so we heard about twice as many fireworks as we actually saw explode.
After some champagne and chocolate covered strawberry treats, we went down the mountain, walked to the church, climbed up these rickety wooden stairs, and listened to the church bells ringing over our heads. Do you have any idea how loud it is underneath the bells??? Trust me, it is ridiculous.
Our final stop was at Philip's best friend Bernhart's house, which is right next door anyway. We ate some goluash soup (it's really similar to chili), played some SING STAR, and called it a night.
The sunrises early on the ski slopes :)
