Libor took this picture. If you want to see more pictures like this, send me money so I can buy a new camera. [No, that's not a joke.]

My friend Mika from UVM is studying in Athens this semester and we've been talking about arranging a little exchange between Austria and Greece in fact... Or I can visit Maria and Lela. "If my good leg don't go down, I don't go down."

Hey,
Hey, What a great blog. But it sure looked cold. If I ever went I think spring or summer would be the time. You should be starting a book for other exchange students.....all the ins and outs of how to see countries and especially how to get seats on planes...........Love ya Nanny

It sounds like you had a great time.....to bad you missed the Herring and the Moose for dinner. Sweden is a nice country to visit. Perhaps you should visit in summer as they really have one.
