Hallo! Wie geht's?
It has been crazy so far trying to cram 3 credit hour class of german into 2 1/2 weeks, but we're doing it. we have class every day from 10-12:30. it actually goes by fairly quickly though becasue it is interesting and we are moving through the book at 100mph. our teacher is a local from vienna, which makes the class a lot of fun. she has a deep german accent and is sometimes hard to understand, but it makes us all learn quicker! Jordan, Austin, Sarah and I went exploring yesterday. we have a list of 18 sites in Vienna that we have to see before the semester is over. we went to the Hofburg palace and into the Ephesus museum which houses ruins from the roman city of Ephesus. (book of Ephesians). the hofburg is the palace where Hitler gave his speech on March 15, 1938 that is considered to be the start of WWII. we tried to find the balcony he delivered it from, but will have to go back becasue we didn't recognize any of them. the weather here makes me feel like i'm at home! it's a lite, constant rain and cool. i'm loving it. today i am just staying in the castle trying to get ahead on my homework so i can not be as busy in the weeks to come. i just thought i'd take a break from research and journaling though and update everyone....... is anyone is actually reading this....... on how i am doing.

Sounds absolutely great! Nice photo of the golf swing at St. Andrews. What's Luke Tallon planning to do after finishing school? We are excited for you and the way you're learning about a much bigger world than you ever knew existed before. We love you and miss you. Take care.
Climb on!
