Back in Vienna! And I can officially say that Vienna has become my home away from home. After an extended Easter break and a solid 8 days in Greece, I was anxious for my arrival back in Austria. The comforts of a familiar pillow and sweat pants really goes a long way.
After a few random postings trying to keep you informed of my whereabouts, I feel I should probably give you a recap as to where I have been for the last month, and why I once again have a permanent food baby. Holidays! They do that to you.
Starting after my weekend trip to Salzburg with Michelle, Brad and Kyle, I officially started a 3 week vacation from studying here at BOKU. A combination holiday for Easter as well as spring break or reading week.
During this break, I spent some time with some great friends also touring Europe, my family, and then a relaxing trip down south with some roommates and a few other girls.
April 21st - My parents, brothers and Oma arrived here in Vienna, where they would spend the next 5-6 days exploring this city, while I led them through the sites. After Vienna we then headed north through the Czech Republic to Prague!
After 4 days in Prague, I said my goodbyes to everyone, who then caught their flights back to Eastern Ontario.
May 1st - I fly with 5 other girls to Greece! Spending one night in Athens, then setting sail to Mykonos and Santorini, we spent our days riding ATV's and donkeys between laying on beaches and stuffing our faces with spectacular Greek food.
And after all this, I returned to Vienna this past Monday evening where I flew face first back into school, already completing two exams and a project proposal. So much fun!! :P
Now, another mission of mine is to get this blog's rhythm back in order. Let's see how that goes.
So, after over a year of planning, the 6 month journey to the other side of the pond has begun! This blog is to help document my travels, from backpacking without an itinerary to studying in Vienna. My incentive for this blog is not only to keep you all updated, but also to take it upon myself to fully explore the culture and in particular, the local cuisine. As I’m no food critic, and don’t want to be (!), I am attacking this food from the eyes of a budding landscape architect... Wish me LUCK!
