Quite obviously I'm new at blogging- and I'm not quite sure how to get all these pics and text just where I want them- maybe someone can give me the lowdown. I'm sure I'll learn- but for now, I'm going to bed, and I'll trust that everyone will be able to discern the order I attempted. For one, in the future, I'll have to work on the chronology... Good bye and good night everyone! :)





And our walk.








And pics of the apartment...











Here are pics from the bus trip to the hotel.

This is my dinner! Mmmm- so much detail- I love it! The tiny salad we had was half chicken- goodness! The entree is beef stroganoff with spaetzle. I'm not sure spatzle will grow on me- but Kasia likes it... See that half and half? Pretty sure that's for coffee- but, I drank it. :) I'm storing up for later. My budgeting philosophy? ALWAYS take food when it's free.- and going to be wasted.

Here's a random little girl who was quite attracted to Kasia- and kept dashing up the aisle to er-spout some nonsense we couldn't understand. However, I pretended to understand and spouted back to her in English. Kasia didn't think she spoke English. Later her mom scooted her up the aisle speaking French- Kasia was right.

This is me, stirring the salt and pepper into my tomato juice with a cool, pretty green stirry thingy. Yes I'm easily amused- it's a good thing, I assure myself. Plus, I kept that stirry thingy- I bet I could



This is Kasia and I basking in the take off sunlight pictured above- though you can't really tell... we just look cute.
Here's Ruth. Eating a hazlenut on our Austrian Air flight. Austrian Air is lots nicer than Delta. They had blankets and pillows for everyone, and served us 2 meals, and their upholstery and flight attendant outfits were pleasantltly colorful :) I like.


Haha- Haha! Whoa! I'm heeere! :) (Nervous/excited laughter) Yeayaa, this is so much fun I'm having right now. So here's a quick review of the 'day' (Which has really been a day and a half) traveling to Vienna, first in words and then in pictures, with commentary. Airport, hotel, walk, dinner. Now for the pics :)

Here is my good friend Kasia, graciously pointing to the Terminal 1 sign. Funny that that identification is no where on any map we found... Kelsey (my sister-in-law) was right. The JFK airport is confusing! Plus, since I'd had basically no sleep the night before (busy tying up loose ends- HA! Like I could ever tie up all the loose ends of my life... :) ) I was definitely out of it, and very grateful and fortunate to have a lovely group of BYU girls to navigate the airport with. And by group I mean there were 5 of us. It ended up that a JFK employee saw us puzzling over the fact that there was no "terminal" 1 pictured on the map and pointed us in the right direction. And we made it!
