Unfortunately, Marina and Sergei ran into some trouble on the way here and had one of their bags stolen at the rental car place in Milan. As they were getting in their car, a woman came up to them to ask them where the rental office was and in the 20 seconds they were talking to her, her 'partner in crime' stole one of their bags they had set directly behind them. By the time they realized what happened, it was too late. What is wrong with people?
After they counted their losses, which included a GPS, camera, phone chargers, underwear, and Sergei's homework for school, they made the 3 hour drive to Vipiteno. We spent the night catching up and having drinks. Thursday, we hit up the outlet malls and Kevin's hockey game.
Yesterday, we decided to go to Innsbruck to watch the Youth Olympic Games. We were excited to see the ski jumping competition, but once we got into Innsbruck and saw the weather, we had a feeling it was cancelled (and it was). After sliding down the hillside and almost getting stuck, we thought it would be better to check out an event that was played indoors. When we got to the stadium, speed skating was going on so we caught the end of it, but no Lativan or Americans were competing in the finals. We made our way inside and found out women's hockey was going on so we checked it out for awhile. Kazakhstan was playing Sweden in the semi-finals. We only stayed for one period because it was painful to watch. The final score ended up being 11-0 with Sweden outshooting Kazakhstan 74-1.
We will spend today in Bolzano shopping, meeting up with friends, and watching the hockey game. Hopefully the weather cooperates with us.
