Second day in Vienna: Sleep at the Ibis wasn’t so bad. It wasn’t as stuffy as the hostel in Prague but by now I am getting used to a few short hours of sleep and waking up on a sweat-soaked sheet. We set out for breakfast – I decided on McDonald’s because [...]

First day in Vienna: Started the day off w/ one of Carin’s students at the dining hall. Carin had a bunch of leftover meal tickets so we cashed in. Decided to take the train to Vienna. I had thought about driving – it would be great to have driven through all [...]

Ran the Twilight 8k last nite. It was pretty muggy all day long – but the race started pretty late. We got about halfway into the race and it started pouring rain, which felt surprisingly great. So even though my shoes were sloshing with water and I was beginning to develop some [...]

Finally, a festival for me. If only I’d known sooner.
