thank you for your patience

frohe heilige abend

frohe weihnachten fest

frohe fest von heilige familien un heilige stephan

and thank you for your patience. 

good news...Monika has internet in her apartment in Wien. bad news...it doesn't work on my MAC (only PC's), and we only have one source for the internet. Between our crazy schedules, especially in my second week/the week before Christmas, and with three of us to share the internet, I'm sorry I have not been able to keep this blog updated thus far. But, I have been keeping entries in my journal with blog posts in mind so that I could easily post them when I had a free 10 hours :) On Christmas Day, I severely sprained my ankle while getting off a train in Hollabrunn (I'll explain when I get to that post), so this week I am on doctor's orders to be off my foot completely. Guess what, that means catching up on my blog! A late Weihnachten geshanke fur dir? Ich glaube. (translation: A late Christmas present for you? I think so.)

so these entries will go in some kind of order...starting from my first arriving in Wien. Some of the thoughts and messages and reflections will pertain to times now past, but bear with me!
