Cake Up Date

OK, first the new business: Joni has another job interview this afternoon for perhaps two different jobs. The school seems to have posted both a half time and full time position. Maybe they just upgraded the half time to a full time? We don’t know. She’ll find out tonight. Of course when I type “tonight” […]

Prague

Well, we’re back from the Czech Republic. Here’s the short version in case you don’t want to read this “much longer than anticipated” post: Prague is a wonderful city: visit if you get the chance. Now for the long version! We left from Linz early Saturday morning. We were up a little before six and […]

Mad Science Hour

I’m still working on the big Prague post, so in the mean time, enjoy the Joni and Will Mad Science Hour.

Botanical Gardens

On Thursday we went over to the botanical gardens in Linz. We got a coupon for free entry as part of our welcome packet, but we missed the window to get over there last fall. Now that it’s spring and everything is in bloom, we decided it was time. When I envisioned the gardens, I […]

Going to the Movies

Last Tuesday we decided to go to the movies.  Joni had gone to a couple before, but it was my first time.  We decided to see Thor. Most movies are dubbed into German, but some theatres play original version (or OV) with English audio. We found a theatre that had Thor OV on Tuesdays, so […]

The Week in Review

Whew! That’s a lot of updating. This is your handy dandy summary post, so check out everything from the big parents visit! We’ve even included a little blurb on what we did each day. (Don’t tell anyone – that was mainly for us to remember what we had actually done!) Day 01 – Linz Parents […]

Day 08 – Return Home

Monday morning we all got up early and got everything ready to go. We went over to the hotel and had breakfast there. They had a pretty big spread of good food. It made the 16 Euro seem a little more reasonable. After breakfast we grabbed all the parents’ luggage and loaded it into the […]

Day 07 – Linz

Sunday rolled around all too quickly. By this time though, we were just plain bushed. I don’t even need to describe it. This is what we looked like Sunday morning: Since we had run into the fort museum being closed last Monday, we decided that today would be a good day to check it out. […]

Day 06 – Linz

Saturday started off with a trip down to Bauhaus to show off the super shower. We ran through Bauhaus, then hit Interspar to get a wristwatch. Things were going well – but then we ran into a time crunch. See, they give tours of the spire of the new cathedral Saturdays at 2:00PM. It was […]

Day 05 – Vienna

Can you believe we’re already to Friday?! Man, that time has flown by. The first order of business Friday was to get checked out and stow the luggage for the day. Some lockers at the hostel handled that well. We also got on their computers for a little Internet access. Once we had caught up […]
