2 Weeks Gone ...1 More To Go
And time is continuing to fly. Tomorrow (Monday) is already the 2 weeks point with 1 more week to go before I leave on Monday, August 26th. I really don't know how it happens but times just seems to go on "fast forward" whenever I am here, no matter how long I am here for. You would think that three weeks would feel like a long time but no, not really.
Anyway, let's see what I can recap for the last week. I worked Monday and Tuesday but have been off starting Wednesday. On Wednesday I met up with an old friend, somebody I was good friends with growing up while living here but haven't seen in ages. He is now also married and has two daughters, a beautiful 3 and 6 year old. We caught up over lunch at McDonald's (because yes that's what you do when you have kids that age *g*) Anyway, was a lot of fun to catch up.
Thursday I had a hair appointment and spent a good amount of the day at the hairdresser. In the afternoon I met up with Andi for some tea/coffee and a quick snack which was nice. And Friday my aunt, mom and our neighbors Helga & Franz went to a Heurigen (Sandbichler) for a fun vineyard lunch. Was also able to pick up a few bottles of wine to bring back to the US.
Yesterday, Saturday, I was in Vienna and went to the Belvedere. Been quite a long time since I have seen the museum there. Lots of Klimt paintings amongst other things. Then had a nice cafe lunch at Cafe Mozart people/tourist watching before heading back.
And today, Sunday, was just a quiet day. The weather has been pretty fall/autumn like, cool, windy, sometimes rainy and kind of dreary. Managed to catch up on my letter writing today and also watched a Rosamunde Pilcher movie with my mom in the afternoon.
And tomorrow is already Monday again. I do have a couple more days off from work but also have some things I still need to catch up on. So let's see what this last week brings before I head back to the US.
Mail Update: Letters should be going out soon to: Carmen/Malta, Celia/MA, Nina/WA, Eunice/Malta and Kimber/Halifax.
