Salzburg

Things have been going well. It's such a different feeling, being here with so much free time. There aren't classes to go to, exams to study for, or countries to travel to. It's just me, myself and I....and Salzburg. It does get lonely at times. Being here again makes me realize how American I am. But, in many ways, it's so rewarding and it feels good to be able to stand on my own two feet.

My weekend was very relaxing. On Friday night Andrea and I went to Augustiner for dinner, followed by Murphy's Law for beers and the soccer game: Germany vs. Greece. 4-2 for Germany! There wasn't much excitement at the bar. Austrian's aren't that into soccer: or the Germans. haha. On Saturday Kerstin, Andrea and I went shopping at Europark. They had a huge sale and I ended up buying perfume and high-heels from Espirt. After shopping we had the obligatory coffee at IKEA. On Sunday Andrea came over and we swam in the pool with the kids. It was so much fun. It's great having an American here that understands what I'm going through!

Yesterday I met up with Aimi, Mitch, and Maria at Afrocafe. I had waffles for dinner---yum!!! ;) Today Aimi and I hung out. We walked around Salzburg, went to a few cafes, and then went on the Stiegl Brewery Tour! The best part was the beer-sampling. You get to sample 3 beers (0,2 each). Awesome :)

I am absolutely exhausted from running around all day. Time for coffee and then a nap.
