Ich Bin Wieder Da!!

Hello Everyone!!

I spent a good 24+ hours in airplanes/ports, trains, etc., and I have arrived in the lovely city of Eisenstadt again. It is really nice to be here again. It really feels much different than the first time that I got here, when everyone and everything was completely new and unknown. This time it felt a lot more like returning home after a long vacation since I knew exactly where to go and how to get there. Alexa picked me up at the train station and we had a nice excursion in the city, where I checked out my future house (very rustic with a courtyard, in a nice part of town) and there was a large street festival with some sort of "Burgenland Idol" singing contest going on. I was very impressed with the vocal talents of Burgenländische teenagers... one 15-year old sang an incredibly impressive version of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", which is certainly not an easy song to sing! After some hazelnut ice cream in the pedestrian zone (YUM!), we returned home at about 10:00 PM local time, had a glass of wine, and I slept for 12 hours. After a few cups of coffee this morning I feel relatively normal again. Martin is coming this afternoon to pick me up and take me to Vienna for the weekend... so that will be fun. At some point I will upload some more of my Athens fotos and post them for you...
To everyone in Athens: Thank you all SOOOO much for the wonderful time you all showed me. You know who you are!
Keep reading/writing comments and I'll keep writing :)
