Day 3 & 4:

Golly gee, blogs are a lot of work. It's like taking care of a small child, ya dig?

Wellll, DAY 3 went a little like this:

It was the first day we slept in and we didn't wake up until 11:00, thank everything holy. At 2:00 we went over to Barbara's house for lunch. We had filet mignon and ice cream, so pretty average ya. JK. It was my favorite meal so far. (Cocoa puffs are a close 2nd). After we were done eating, I went up to Anne Sophie's room and she played her guitar and sang for me. She's only 9 years old, but daaang, she's so so good. She sang Mama Mia, Someone like you, and Riptide. She doesn't even speak English but she sang the songs in English and I was so very impressed. After my personal concert, we went to the market and explored the chocolate aisle. Easily the best part of the day. If you haven't ever eaten a milka bar hmu so you can say you've tasted heaven before you actually go to heaven. "And on the seventh day, God created Milka." They had a total of 17 different flavors. Oh man.. They had one with chips ahoy cookies INSIDE the chocolate. Wow. 

Well, moving on.. After the market, we walked to the soccer field and watched Felix (my second cousin) play fútbol. It's crazy how good the little kids are! Here, everyone plays soccer. During the soccer game I was with Anne Sophie and we actually communicated! ...well kinda. It was more like charades with a few words I understood here and there... But she is the cutest girl and it was fun hanging out with her.

Okay so I was looking forward to this night all week because it's the open air concert! I didn't really know what to expect, and it was waaaay different than I thought but it was sti good! (At least the parts where I was awake were..) it was all instrumental and all the musicians were from Austria. It was cool because literally the whole town was there. Back at home this would be considered an orchestra concert and it wouldn't be widely advertised, but here.. EVERYONE came. Literally hundreds of people. 

I realized that I might not enjoy everything that we do here but I'm glad we are doing it all because we are truly getting the real Austrian experience!

And that was the end to another amazing day.

Day 4: SUNDAY FUNDAY. My aunt and uncle are Catholic and they were a part of their church service this morning, so they woke up early and went to their church while the mother and I slept in for the 2nd day in a row. #livinthelife When we woke up, they were back and ready for another adventure, so off we went! We drove up another mountain to another lake and wow it was absolutely beautiful! Austria has always been known for their clear water, and today we could see the bottom of the lake! They weren't lying when they said you can literally drink the lake water. (It's a little different than utah lake..)

On the way home, we stopped at their cemetery behind the big cathedral and walked around to all the graves. The cemetery here is A LOT different than back home.

Little ice cream stop on the way back to our flat.

The seniors (kindly put) went to a friends to watch the Wimbledon tournament while the less senior lady (aka my mother) and I went on a scenic bike ride.

Lastly, we all went out to a Chinese restaurant in town. Lol @ eating foreign food in another foreign country. The food was alright, let's just say.. American Chinese food and European Chinese food are completely different. This actually was the first meal since I've been here that I didn't LOVE. but life is still good because I got a fortune Cookie. (That awkward moment when it's in German too.)

Once dinner was over, we retired to our flat and I face timed some American friends and then supposedly went to bed. Lol because it's 4:03 am and I'm blogging.
