Willkommen!

This is our chapel. Isn't it incredible?

Greetings from Gaming, Austria! I'm going to try and keep up with this blogging business which is as foreign to me as German (and that's pretty bad, trust me!). And don't worry, I'll get my own pictures up as soon as I dig out my camera from the depths of my bag. So I just arrived today and am in the midst of unpacking and learning my way around because it's a lot more confusing than you would think. You have to go up this staircase, turn and go up another, then go through the secret door and up another staircase, it's crazy! (Note: there isn't an actual secret door. It just seems like it).

The bus ride from Vienna to the Kartause (the name of the place I'm staying at) is about an hour and 45 minutes and it was a beautiful drive. The sun came out apparently for the first time in a couple of weeks and everything looked so vibrant and fresh and just gorgeous! And the water here is so crisp and clean! For those of you that have never had to experience Steubenville water, it's quite the change from filtering your water almost excessively to just drinking from the tap. SO GOOD! Go ahead and make fun of me, Sarah, I just can't help it that I love water! 

Well I am just exhausted (even though it's only 3:00 here!) and we have Sunday Mass in an hour, so I better get ready and finish putting my stuff away. There will be more to come. Tomorrow, we're going on an expedition to the town of Melk! Auf Wiedersehn!

P.S. Laura, do you like the font? I changed it to Helvetica! But really, I did.
