Fotos! (Photos!)

I promised I'd write more later, so here I am! I'm going to put mostly pictures here, so please enjoy! We'll see how this works!


Here's the guy who owned the pub at which we ate the first night. The pub is called ,,Die Erste Esterhazy". (Look up Esterhazy - you'll get a little history lesson. Hint: Hungarian family connected with Franz Joseph - have fun!) Frau Strauss told him we wanted to hear about the pub and it's history so we listened to him for 25 minutes while we tried not to fall asleep. We weren't trying to be rude - we were just so tired!





This is Stephansdom (St. Peters Cathedral). It is the most gorgeous Cathedral I have ever been in. I will go to mass here soon. And, Ryan, it is not completely gold on the inside. I wish I could get a picture of the whole cathedral, but it is closely surrounded by other buildings. This is the best I could do up close. It was such a beautiful day.



These feet and hands belong to The Terminator. We found this in a mall (if you could call it that) one day on Mariahilferstrasse, so I had to take a picture. They were quite big, despite how the picture makes them seem. Oh well. "It's notta tumah!






This is Peterskirche (St. Peters Church) and I hope to go to mass sometime while I am here. Just look at it. (No more words.)






Yeah, the public "restrooms"... are underground.
Won't be trying those out any time soon...




It was nice to see some Americans too. It was interesting that we should see one from Virginia Tech...



Hilary and Alcha getting their books signed by Lonnie Johnson. He's the author of one of the books we had to read for GR 310. That's right, we got to meet the author and listen to him talk for an hour and a half!


And here's how Neil felt about that...




And last, but not least, the apartment



Our front door...102 stairs above the ground.








Stepping through the front door, this is what you see in front of you - the end of the kitchen with the very tiny table and little tv in it. It's cute, though... Directly to the right is the toilet and to the left is the shower, through which you get to one of the bedrooms.






The toilet. In it's own room. Interesting...







The shower room. Awesome bathtub. Great for doing laundry.





The shower room leads into the bedroom of Alcha and Hilary. And through the bathroom is the only way to get in and out.




The rest of the kitchen looking at the very tiny table and the small tv from the other side of the apartment. It's a long, skinny kitchen; it's cute.







Neil's room. It's the hang-out because it has the really cool couch. It also has the computer.




And the room that Jenna, Laura, and I sleep in. Home sweet Home until June 10th!
Well, I am tired and should review before my little test tomorrow. I love you all! Bis dann! ('til later!)
