Spring Break-- Coming Soon.

I should and eventually will post about the twenty days I spent backpacking around Europe. Unfortunately, the trip took a toll on my mind and body and I want to wait to settle before I post anything. More importantly though, I kept a journal for the entire length of my trip so at least I will have a hard copy of my thoughts for the rest of my years.

Since I have returned I have spent a considerable amount of times in the parks of Vienna. This morning I ran to Schonbrunn Palace, the yellow one from a previous post. It was so much nicer in the summer. Though they have not planted all of the colorful flowers, the green of the shrubberies that make up the massive acreage of mazes have grown in. It was so beautiful. I walked mostly up the hill and sat indian still on a concrete box for awhile just soaking it in. From this vantage point you can see a considerable amount of the city. There was a slight breeze and I was just so satisfied.

The other day I ate lunch with my friend Kambis and we went to the Modern Art Museum. The exhibits on display were sort of disturbing but I had such a great day. That evening I went to a heuriger with Jessica, her friend from UWO and Preston. The green beans were so good and reminded me of the bean salad I eat at home.
