So another Friday comes to an end... Today we climed to the top of St. Stephans Cathedral all of the nearly 400 steps. It was so crazy! The staircase was a very tiny and clastrophobic (sp?) space that seemed to be never-ending, no worries I made it both up and back down. I got alot of cool pics of the view from the top, it was so high up and so fun. When we were done with the journey back to the bottom our TA took us out for ice cream, it was good but not as good as the 1st place we went a few days ago.
As of today Megan and I are offical residents of Vienna we went and turned in the paper work today after the ice cream stop....yipppeee! To celebrate that we did what all residents do and took pics at the Hofburg like tourists...hahaha
We then made our way to lds insititue and I watched Singing in the Rain for the 1st time. That movie has no point what so ever but I liked it..it was very cute. Getting ready to come back home we realized we need to make a grocery run. With groceries in hand we headed back to train and came home.
This morning at breakfast our dad here invited us to dinner for tonight. he said " We want you to have dinner with us, a real Austrian meal...we give you water and a piece of bread." Megan and I both sat there for a few seconds before we reacted. We did not know if her was for real or kidding. he then started laughing, but would not tell us what they were going to feed us. :) Tonight when we got home mom and dad wentout to a movie and left just us girls at home. Me, Megan, and our new sister Frani. We ate a very good and traditional dinner. Noodles with kraut. Not sour kraut but sweet kraut. It was very different but very good. We also had these great little coco and waffle puffs. To drink we had apple tea with citrus added. All in all a new experience but one that was worth it.
After dinner us 3 crazy 20 something aged girls danced for about an hour around the table just singing and laighing...wow there some moments made tonight. It was great finally getting a chance to bond with Frani, she is soo sweet. When the parents came home we came down to our room and showed Frani Bon Qui Qui and Stewart and Can I have your number for the 1st time ever. It was for sure a tender moment. It was cute becuase some of the humor we had to explain so for the most part she thought it was funny.
2mro we go to the castle and do some homework. Tuesday Frani wants to take us to a dance place which should be funny..well at least for those watching me dance that is.
Sidenote- This morning at breakfast we tired tea made from the fruit of white roses. It has a bitter and kinda sour taste but it was good.

That's the days report from this end. Love you guys so much..<3
