Today we decided to visit the little lake near Linz. We managed to find it with no trouble whatsoever. All we needed to do was take a bus up to a semi-large stop, then get on another bus that brought us right there. Of course as with most lakes, the second we got there we […]
After Sheepie got settled in, things got pretty quiet here. I’m done teaching that business English course, and my German course has ended. Mary Jo is just going along doing her teaching thing. The only real news is that the weather has been beautiful here. It’s been pushing 70 degrees and has just been wonderful. […]
Well, after the adjustment “issues” we had with the last addition to the family, I’m glad to see that Sheepie is fitting right in.
Well, that snuck up on us. I had no idea this was even a thing over here, but apparently people take Mardi Gras pretty seriously in Austria. Mary Jo and I were both swamped with work last night, so we didn’t go out. It was a bit of a bummer, but she had to get […]

Day 7 started out the way any good day should: with a trip to KFC. We had a little hankering for home, so we decided to hit the KFC we had noticed earlier in the week. Well, sad news. KFC here is kinda like a chicken oriented McDonald’s. It’s got that same fast food polish […]
Day 6 is a sad day. Everyone was up and running at about 7AM, but only because Ben, Jaci, and Mike had to catch a taxi to get to the airport. They were going home. Sadnesses. Mary Jo and I said goodbye to them and then we were alone. We actually went back to bed […]
Monday was an important day, mainly because it started out with Ben and I recording our podcast for the week. We decided to go all out with it and add video. We set up four different cameras to record the whole thing. I got the audio edited on the way back from Berlin, but I’m […]
Sunday we got a real treat! Mary Jo convinced Marlena to give us a little guidance in our wanderings! We started the day by going back to the place we had cake on Friday, but this time we had some breakfast/brunch. It was super tasty. Once we had been fed, it was time to start […]
