Normal Day... ahhhhhh

Hi All!

Things felt a bit normal today - or maybe I am just coming out of my funk a bit? We had a nice day today.

We started out at a catholic mass at Stephensdome Cathedral...basically the iconic cathedral you would see in any picture of Vienna. It is gorgeous in there.... huge and old (I believe over 1,000 years old) Suffice it to say the kids did not enjoy it! The music was beautiful but it was HOT in there, very long and all in German. A good experience none the less. We need to find a church out by us... probably one that has an English service. (many do)

We also headed back to the Alta Donau area for some swimming and playing at the parks.

Had a nice dinner at a restaurant we found on the Donau.... Evan ordered grilled trout which came whole with the head still on. He, of course, is not affected and enjoys it besides the bone issues. Julia and I on the other hand asked the boys to cover the head with a piece of lettace so we could eat our meal!

We capped off our last official vacation day with another round of Zanoni and Zanoni -- the best gelataria (ice cream... I believe Gelato originated in Italy) ever! I now have a new addiction...caramel mixed with chocolate.

I say last vacation day because Eric starts work in the am. He is excited to get started... I am hoping it isn't just to get away from me. I haven't been the sweetest wife in my 'transition' time. I think I was a bit better today... should I ask him if he agrees? :)

Highlight of the day was Skyping with the Kostorowskis and seeing them/hearing their voices. And we got to see Mia too - yeah! (For those of you who don't know, our dear friends are fostering our dog Mia) Thank heavens for Skyping and VOIP phones.

Can't wait to skype more of you! :)
