It's about time I get into gear and update this old thing again! This semester has been full of days off and extended weekends, as the Austrians are not the biggest fans of effort and work. Thus, last weekend, we had one of our many four day weekends. After lots of planning and the threat of cancellation due to the weather, Libor, L'ubomir (Slovakia), Veronika (Czech Republic), Bénédicte (Fra... Read Full Entry

St. Wolfgang

Beautiful blue.

St. Wolfgang

This is normal in Austria.

The German Language

German is a fun language, because you can invent any word you want, and everyone will understand you. You combine several words together, and it creates a new one. Thus, you see words like Schifffart, which has 3 f's, which is probably something you've never seen in English, huh?

Sloopy Joe's

I think he was shooting for Sloppy? There was also not a beach in sight. You can see a tiny bit of our flag, though, right above the roof under the British flag.

St. Wolfgang

Walking into the heart of the city. Lubo, Veronika, and Bene are modelling for the picture, as you can tell.

Painted Houses

One of my favorite things about Austria.

German?!

To this day I have no idea what that means.

Church

The church for St. Wolfgang [the actual saint, as well as for the city].

Das Weisse Roessl

A famous hotel in St. Wolfgang.

Uh oh, Kristy

St. Wolfgang is not for Kristy, what with the decision making involved...

St. Wolfgang

The man himself holding a brief history of the city.

By the Church

There were little arches you could lean against and look out over this view.

Said Arch

Bene, Vero, and Lubo taking it all in.

Small Square

All the buildings used this dark wood, as well.

Tick Tock

Employees can NEVER be late to work.

A Little Break

Dipping our feet in the water.

Wolfgangsee

I know I have so many pictures that are so similiar, but really, how can you get bored looking at this?

St. Wolfgang

Walking into the city once again.

Bad Ischl

This is a cafe in the city Bad Ischl, where the Kaiser had a summer villa. The last Kaiserin [empress] of Austria was Elisabeth, who is to this day worshipped by the Austrians. Her nickname in German was Sisi. They apparently tried to translate that into English, utterly failing.

Bad Ischl

I really liked this city for some reason, though for the others, it was nothign special.

Trinkhalle

Drink Hall.

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!!. Absolutely spectacular pictures. I am with the rest sooo jealous. The house trees are called espaliering, which is a form of pruning so that the leaves and fruit or flowers are only on the front side. Very intricate but beautiful to look at........Love ya, Nanny
