On the border line

Early, and breakfast at the Merkur, then out of the city and up to Oberndorf, north of the city. We spent the day meeting in a school which was due to be demolished in a week's time, having been built in the 1940s by prisoners of war. At lunchtime, we crossed a bridge into Germany and then back into Austria - this marker was half-way across the bridge. Back via the Stille Nacht chapel where it was first performed. At the end of the day we drove up into the Alps and had pizza and beer by a mountain lake in a cool village. Home after dark, listening to a German commentary on the football.
