I Don’t Remember Packing That…

Apparently we brought more than we thought. It’s been snowing a lot here, much more than a normal winter according to the locals. I guess Minnesota followed us. I don’t remember packing that… This was Wednesday. Since it was snowing, we decided to go out and play a bit. We wanted to make a snow […]

Thanksgiving

Sunday was our big Thanksgiving day! We went down to another person’s dorm. We got a little lost on the way down there, but we found it. We were supposed to eat at 4, so we got there at about 3 with our 12 pounds of potatoes. We peeled them (since no one is picky […]

Dinner Snow Update

During our normal dinnering in the kitchen, Mary Jo noticed that the snow was starting to accumulate on the soccer field behind the building. It’s just melting off on the streets and sidewalks, but grass and cars appear to be allowing it to stick around. Also, it’s night here now. Sorry for the dark picture. […]

Cat Food

Here’s a commercial we see on TV a lot. The beginning got a little chopped off. The cat just says “Mmmmm, dinner party.” Any questions about what’s being said can be directed to Mary Jo. 🙂

Christmas Markets

Mary Jo got a tip that there was another Christmas market in the big park down by the train station, so the other night (Tuesday), we went down there. It was a lot of the same stuff as the Christmas market in the main square, but it also had a small “commercial building” like you […]

Darn It

Today was a very… domestic, day for me. I did the laundry, took out the trash, and vacuumed. That wasn’t the worst part though. Today I actually darned a sock: After that, I really did darn a sock. It’s not pretty, but it’ll get the job done. I’ve always wanted to do that (for some […]

Museum Day Photos

This is kind of an appendix post for Mary Jo’s Class and Museums. Going from the Lentos to the castle, we found a chicken-woman statue. Also, something I’ve noticed a lot of around here: there are a ton of grounding wires. Most homes in the states have them, I think, but here they are everywhere, […]

Miscellaneous Post

This is kind of a mish-mash post, so we’ll just dive right in with a picture of the ARS Electronica center the other night: Kinda creepy. it was all foggy, so it had this weird glow it doesn’t have on clear nights. Next, we have an observation of Austrian culture. You know how in the […]

Bread Ring

The other day, in a hunt for shoe laces, we went to a different grocery store called Merkur. It’s kind of like a smaller version of Interspar, but much closer. During our looking abouts and food shoppings, we found some neat looking bread, so we bought it. I was instantly enamored with the bread ring, […]

Behind the Scenes

So, in case you missed it, we’ve done a few updates in the past day or so! From oldest to newest: Update New Zipline Ad! Goodbye! Shipping Costs I recommend the New Zipline Ad! post. We’re been doing a lot of videos lately, but this last one was our biggest I guess, so we decided […]
