Summer in Vienna
Julia and Johanna at Prater.
Giant Bug!!!!
The fountain/pond in front of Karlskirche. There is a little stand where you cant buy white wine spritzers. Julia and I had a very nice time sitting here. It's really pretty at sunset.
A group of Erlachplatz kids went on a hike and then to a outdoor restaurant at a vineyard which was super pleasant. Here I am with Harry.
And again. It's too bad there aren't really pictures of the rest of the group.
Here I am at Schönbrunn Palace. The Gardens are beautiful.
This is the Prater Ferris Wheel. It's famous but too expensive to ride.
Here's Julia waiting for the subway.

EM 2008
European Soccer Championship:
Some of the Turkish celebration.
Some Erlachplatz friends at Holland:Romania and France:Italy.
In the Rain.
Big buildings decorated for the event.
Croatians. They had the coolest uniforms.
Literally everything was about soccer.

Update.
Sorry I've been so bad at blogging lately. Anyway. An Update:
I am done with classes. But not with work.
Hannah came and visited me last week which was nice and Harry is here now which is also nice. But visitors make it hard to concentrate on work. Oh well.
The EuroCup 2008 is the greatest thing ever. I love soccer. Holland won yesterday 4-1! (I'm rooting for Holland. Unless Germany makes it to finals...then I don't know what I'll do.)
I keep dreaming about Mexico Viejo. But I guess I'll get some soon enough.
I don't really have a whole lot else to say. I'll try to get some pictures of recent events posted soon. Love!

some travels.
So I'm back from my trip:
Krakow: was a lovely city and we had beautiful weather which didn't hurt the experience.
i didn't take many pictures because i'm so sick of having hundreds of pictures of buildings.
but here are a few that i did get:
the tower you used to have to go through to enter the city.
the courtyard at the university where copernicus studied.
a pretty view of a church and the old castle buildings.
me and a pretty tree.
me inside a statue of apollo.

So. Another week in Vienna.
Thursday was a holiday so I ended up not having much class this week which was nice.
On Wednesday Sebastian (the boy who shares my kitchen) asked me if I want to join him and a friend who were going to go to a concert at Prater.
Prater is the big permanent carnival thing here...it's as seedy as one would expect.
This is the big Ferris Wheel at Prater.
Anyway, the concert was kind of funny for me.
There were a million hippie looking austrian college age kids just kind of sitting around the park area where the concert was, drinking and picnicking and such.
The music, though was one of the rappers or whatever you call them from Jurassic 5 and he just didn't really seem to have much in common with the audience. I mean he was also singing or whatever and stagebantering in english and I don't really know how much of what he said the people there understood. Anyway....it was free.
Then there was this German band/singer who sings in maybe Romanian or something. Anyway. He has one famous song and it's funny to watch everybody try to sing along to a song in a language they don't understand.
Friday night and yesterday I spent doing work. I feel like I might actually catch up soon.
Then last night I went to another concert with people from my dorm. We saw Nena who sang 99RedBalloons. And it was free. I'm happy I went even though the concert was pretty boring since I only know 2 songs by her and they were the last two played.
Here is Nena:
