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!
lunch with Kierstin, Annisija, and Lindsay
Waiting for the street car coming home from school
grocery shopping at Spar
Schubert lived here...no big deal
Our entire group on the world's oldest ferris wheel
Look for this made-for-tv-movie playing now (the man with the bassoon)
Photo curtesy of my parents in Berlin...I've trained them well- they can spot a bassoon a mile away
Rigoletto at the Volksoper... gotta love standing room tickets at the very top in the very back
My mother and I with our matching mustard clothes in front of Stephansdom
The Barber of Seville at the Staatsoper...Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro
My host frau, Lilo's backyard
It's a garden with apples and pears galore... we eat a freshly picked apple for breakfast every morning
and the front of the house
Lunch with the program directors, Herr and Frau Minert, and my roommie Annisija
Boating on the Danube... we played Strauss waltzes and mozart tunes on my phone for the duration of the cruise
Rathaus (Parliament) with the circus in front
Don Giovanni streaming live outside the Staatsoper
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.
