Hey there gang.....Here is the update from yesterday and today

Yesterday was of course German class and the the tour class. For the tour class we went through the Rathaus which is their City Hall. It was really kinda neat. We each got to take turns sitting in the head mans chair and take pictures. After which we as a class we trespassed into a ballroom in which they were setting up for a event. We figure as long as it was the teachers idea we can't get in trouble and well it was his idea. While there Chelsea and I had to dance. I mean really who goes to a ballroom in Vienna and does not dance?.....For sure not us, we were busting out our best so called waltz. lol With backpacks on ans everything.

We then had a small lesson and then it was off to the Cafe Central, one of the swankest places in Vienna. We had a reservation for 20 people and were going for the soul purpose of cake. We got to this swank place in our jeans and flip flops and had tables set aside for us right up front. See this is a big deal becuase normally they put big school and un-classy folk in the back rooms where real customers can't see you. It was a very enjoyable time and I had some amazing Truffle Cake. The it was off to institute.

We had a great and spiritual lesson and then some great food for dinner. While at institiute I met a very charming man from England, who had just moved to Vienna that day. I'm sure your thinking it yes he is single, cute, great British accent. One hold up however...he is turning 31 this year. He is a really great guy and just a little old for any of us to really be crushing on.

Today after German we went on a tour of Parlament, which was cool to see how they work. To hear about the ups and downs they have experienced as a country. It was the time for the weekly class meeting with Prof. McFarland, we all headed over to his place to get the weeks updates. Tonight we went to a FREE Vienna Philharmonic concert at the SchonBrunn Palace. A small group of us decided to go early and do a little photo shoot.

After the meeting we got ready at Prof. McFarlands and then headed to SchonBrunn. It was six girls and Jeff our photographer for the night...:) All the guys we passed on the street looked at Jeff like he was a God. I mean he was walking the streets with 6 girls dressed up and looking fine. It was pretty funny.

We got to the Palace and Jeff pretended to be Spanish while giving us directions for the shoot. It was rather silly but so much fun. We jumped from area to area and the pics turned out great, well they did for the most part. After we were done Jeff and Lillian went to go get dinner while we went to save seats. Before we all seperated Chelsea and I had just had to get out of our dresses. I figured just pull the jeans on under the skirt and what not she we both did, right in the middle of the SchonBrunn Palace garden path and right in front of everyone.....including Jeff.

He didn't mind but the joggers on the path I guess thought it was odd cause they gave us a silly/mean look. hahahaha When we were done with the reverse strip tease we headed up the hill for the concert. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! I don't think I have ever heard anything so fantastic in my entire life, these people are FAN-TAB-U-LOUS!!!! It was for sure one of the coolest things I have ever done.

The excitment of the night is coming to a close so with homework and a great night behind me, it is off to get ready for bed.

<3 love you all to tiny pieces.....and miss you all
