"Just about to run out to get a hot tea down into town. Just finished the most amazing dinner Kelsey created, whole-wheat penne with chicken and vegetables we got at the open market today. Tomorrow we are going on the SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR!!! & touring the famous Salt mines in Salzburg. “Salz” actually means “salt” from way back when, so we were told it was something we should NOT miss. It is an 8-hour tour, all day tomorrow; we are going to be such tourists… I love it! Haha. Oh and don’t worry Nana… I’ll go again with you J Tonight is karaoke night at one of our favorite pubs but I think were forfeiting it to watch the Sound of Music movie tonight so we can be prepped and rested for a full day of walking and pictures!"
Errands that were on our to-do list today:
- buy tickets to do the Sound of Music tour
- drop off postcards (aka locating the post office)
- find the outdoor market to get produce for dinner
- find the silver&blue Mozart chocolates
- check e-mail
- buy “Austria” t-shirts… they look like Puma brand, so cute J
How errands actually went today:
- asked 5 different people where the post office was… 2 of which actually “Sprechen Sie Englisch”
- the internet connection at the café decided to be fickle so we almost bought tour tickets 6 times… woooo for “7th times a charm!”
- Almost bought horse meat instead of chicken for our dinner… I really wish there were pictures along with way-too-long German words
- FOUND THE MOZART CHOCOLATES
- T-shirt shopping: ummmm it’s just too early on in the semester to be buying clothing, language barrier and all…
Side note: I have learned more German in this one week (four classes to be exact) then I could ever imagine. Although it is intense and we joke that it is more of an “immersion” program, I know it will be so helpful when getting around… and maybe soon shopping will become easier!
