The trip :)

Well hello all of you! I apologize for the tardiness of this post. We arrived in Vienna after 15 hours of flying or being in airports, it was a really long flight but a safe one! We travled around Vienna for the first week and saw all the sights! I never quite realized that Vienna was soo big until we started going around. We went to an opera, a real bonified opera, which was an expierience all on its own. :) The summer academy went very well, it was two weeks of music, meeting new people and trying to learn German. Not very many people speak English, so we have had our share of adventures. Lilienfeld is a small village about an hours drive from Vienna. The monestary dates back to 10th century. Every thing is centered around the Lily, the flower of lily is everywhere. Food over here is great but very very rich. They make awesome cakes and things I honestly dont think America can even make. But i have to admit that i miss American Hamburgers. ;) At the music academy i had very excelent teachers and met a whole bunch of new people. Well i have been here for three weeks and miss home a lot, but we are now here for three more weeks and it is going to be an adventure! :)
