My host frau doesn't have internet at her house so posting will be less frequent than hoped...anyways here's my week in pictures. It's been a super fun and super busy week. The best part was that my parents came and visited this weekend! We missed schwester and hund (steph and louie) but we still had a blast!

It's been so much fun having my parents here this weekend. We had a blast, eaten good food, seen great opera, and had a great time.
It looks like you are having so much fun! I love that you and your both wore mustard yellow. It is the best color ever. We totally went to the circus in front of the Rathaus! It was so fun. We were cheering really loud and the people in front of us got so mad. But what the heck it is the circus not a concert. So went kept cheering and one of the ladies turned around and just screamed really loudly at us. Your host frau has an amazing backward! Are you taking any classes from Frau Weissgerber or Professor Krohl? Have you met Marco or Marie yet? Well the double reed round up this weekend was fun. We missed you though!
ReplyDeleteO man!! That looks so great Amanda! I can't believe you went on the oldest ferris wheel! That is scary! It is still unbelievable to me that you are in Vienna! So awesome!
