We had a fabulous day in Italy yesterday. Bolzano is a beautiful city located just at the foot of the Alps. We started our day by visiting a museum to see Otzs. He is the humidified mummy that was discovered by two mountain climbers in 1991. Apparently his was protruding out of the ground. He is over 5000 years old. It was truly amazing. We then went for lunch and enjoyed pizza pasta and salad from a restaurant in downtown Bolzano. Oh, we also enjoyed wine made from grapes native to the area.we liked it so much, we walked down the the distributor and bought another bottle. We finished our day with shopping, a loaf of bread and a hunk of cheese to have with our bottle of wine on the way back to Innsbruck.
Enough about my day....we did not get to see the boys yesterday. They had a team outing to the top of the mountain in the gondola that we went on the other day. This was after a practice in the morning. The boys then had a team dinner together last evening. The boys all signed a USA hockey jersey that will be hung in the International Olympic offices to represent the first ever United States Youth Olympic Hockey Team. The next youth winter games will be in Norway in 2016 and we are hearing Canada will make a bid for the 2020 games.
The boys seemed to have re-grouped. They said they had a team meeting, a great practice and are ready to go! Keep your fingers crossed...game is at 2:15 local time. I will try to report back after the game, however my hotel is having wifi problems...that is why there are no pictures on this. Go USA!
