Day 10 ~ Best Bit of My Weekend ~

It's hard to nail it down to one .... so here are a few:

~ skyping with my family ~

~ an indoor picnic with people from school ~

~ going swimming ~

~ going out for Chinese food ~
~ waking up to the sound of rain ~

~ finding something here that I thought I would have to order in the States and then get later ~

But best of all:

~ having all day today with Felix ~

PS I think it's funny that one little lonely bird is sitting on the glass wall in the picture. I didn't notice him until I opened the picture on my computer. This picture is around 4:30 and then four hours later it was pouring rain! So funny!

It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
