Well helllloooo blog! how ya doing? I haven't updated you in God knows when so I hope your system doesn't crash with the amount of Austian amazingness I'm about to put in here!
Where did I leave off?
Thanksgiving? oh my. I've got a lot of work to do.
After Turkeyday I did things like... go for a day trip with my family to Bratislava by Boat...
 |
| weeeee!!!!! |
 |
| my dear Host Oma: it was her birthday trip. |
 |
| terrible quality, none the less this is Bratislava |
Played ma cello in a school concert all bym'self :} hehehehehehhehehe
Spent some quality time with my 3d class (12-13 years old)
And the Great Master Grahm (art teacher)
Saw Krampus
 |
| (I should add, Krampus is an Austrian Christmas tradition: good children get presents and bad children get hit by chains and sticks! weee!!) (of course that's a little false. everyone gets hit by Krampus, not just children! or you can pose for a picture instead.) |
got lost
 |
| wo...bin...ich??? |
Christmas carols
and packed up my stuff in a suitcase
and a backpack
and a laundry basket
and a box
and two trips
and moved to my next host family!
I got me a biiig family: my goal is to meet all of them by the end of the year. and if I was here for two I might make it to the names as well. We'll see.
My host dad and I went to a caberet one night in Cafe L.E.O. (it was fantastic: to anyone who lives in or around Vienna... go to it!) (in an attempt to keep this blog a little contained i wont go into details. but here's a picture!

| I was so close to this wailing beauty! Hardly any zoom! |
Went to Salzburg with Rotary!
so many people, so little time.... it was our "goodbye to the "Oldies" trip. I'll clarify. there's two exchange groups in austria: one begins in Jan. and one in Aug. The folks that came in Jan are now starting to say their bye-byes and our big bye bye party was in salzburg. mehhh....
And lots more christmas stuff that I need to write tomorrow. Or later today. But i don't feel like it right now. I'm hungry.
