Our Home in Vienna

Here is a quick look at our little home in Vienna.  Our landlord and landlady are wonderful!!!  They gave us fresh bread, jam, milk and butter to help start us off.  Then the landlord gave us a walking tour of our neighborhood showing us where to shop for the best deals and how to get around quicker.  During our little tour we got to see and hear the Viennese Military Band play jazz and it was interesting to see how some of their instruments differed from ours.  We also had our first meal out tonight...very very good ;-)  However, we are discovering that even though many of the people know English, it's a little frustrating for us not knowing German.  Good thing we have an option to take it while we're here.  We have an orientation tomorrow and our first class: a walking tour of Vienna for Art History.  I am stoked!  That also means you'll get more pics and info tomorrow!
This is the foyer.  Nice little welcome when you walk in.

Here, we have the hallway leading to me and Jenna's room.  Sylvia is off to the right.  The mirrors you see on the left are actually closets for us to hang our clothes - hangers included :-)


This is one part of the kitchen center...

...and here we have the other half with a stove, sink, coffee maker and toaster oven

Here is the bathroom and the toilet is tucked away in the corner off to the right.
This is the first part of our bedroom.  This one is Jenna's bed.

And this is my side.  Our windows look out over a private garden every day.  And, our neighbors are music artists!  This is amazing so far and I can't wait until tomorrow

What is this all about?

Hey ya'll!!!  Thanks for checkin in!  Just a couple days ago I thought it would be a great idea to create a blog/live journal of my upcoming trip to Vienna, Austria so that you could follow my adventures.  You'll be able to see my pictures, videos, class notes on various subjects, and tracks of the concerts we'll be performing.  I obviously don't have this completely set up yet, but when you visit in a couple more days this site will be full of my exciting experiences. '

I will try to update it every night to get rid of my pictures and such off my camera...and to keep all of you lovely visitors in the loop:-)

Enjoy!

~Love,
Bridget
