Wien in Frühling

My last week in Vienna was truly the most beautiful.  The weather was wonderful, and all the flowers were in bloom.  One day, I walked around the Volksgarden with my friend Jared and his parents to see the newly bloomed rose garden.  It was amaaaazingly beautiful.

I spent most of my last Thursday at Fresco Grill, the Mexican restaurant that is home to Burrito Thursdays.  Burrito Thursday has become a tradition for me, Bailey, Jared, and Michael.  Every Thursday after German we all take the U2 over to the Uni and walk 2 blocks to Fresco Grill.  As this was our last BT, a photo shoot was necessary.  

Our favorite table.

Merry Christmas love the BT crew!

After the final BT, we walked over to Sigmund Freud Park, which is in front of Votivkirche.  This is also right next to Uni Wien, so there were a ton of students on the lawn.

Student Forum Final Party!

I am a member of the IES Vienna Student Forum, a student organization that plans events around Vienna for IES students.  Our final event, and the most impressive by far, was the Final Party, held Saturday the 14th (after Frau Summesberger’s house).  It was at the Travel Shack, an Australian bar in the 15th district that is a regular spot for all IES students.

Whoa... Sorry.

I've been home from Vienna for over 2 months now and still haven't finished my blog! More posts are coming I promise!!
