Today we had to go to Bad Ischl again, and then we went for a short drive to Altausee, in Styria, where there is a road that takes you up very high, so high that you can see the Hallstätter Glacier at about eye level. We had coffee at the only restaurant there, and sat on the terrace so we could get some sun and wind while our eyes squinted through the thick haze. My face is still radiating heat. We watched a hang glider take off. There was a very short running distance before he had to jump, and my breath caught as I watched him leap from the platform. He took off gracefully, circled back, and then spiraled up higher.
