Luge Around The World

Today my wife, daughter, and I went to the Luge track in Park City, Utah. It was fun to see the sliders and talk to Jon. He wants me to come official some races and I think it would be fun. It reminded me that I never took any pictures when I was in Europe so the closest I can get is pictures of the tracks. I also found some videos on youtube! It would have been nice to watch these videos before getting to a new track so we would already have an idea of what to expect. ha Anyway, most of the pics are from Google Earth. A few arnt from Europe but I figured I would just post all tracks I have been to.
