(written Feb 21)
we both woke up fairly early...it's been a relaxing yet jet-lagged day....we settled......got groceries....got our bearings......wandered vienna......we're in vienna...no really. we are.
our apartment is FABULOUS! angela said "it's liek staying at someone's grandmother's house but without the grandmother".....we have 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room AND terrace...it's clean...it's cozy...it's home (for now).....and then there's mr.lenz....
my mom has this movie that she loves called "Until September"....it's about an american woman who gets stuck in paris when she misses her connecting flight to (was it?) budapest.....it follows her as she meets this man--her friend's nextdoor neighbour--with whom she has a heated affair.
well, the moment we walked into our building, i felt like i stepped into a scene from "Until September"...the feeling of foreigness was the same....the portayal of exhaustion was the same......the walk-up was the same......
as we found our apartment, mr.lenz was standing in the doorway.....he was our new neighbour and he had opened our place for us.....va va va voom!.....but the plot twists a bit when the neighbour is a 4foot9, 65 year old austrian man with a firm grip......
maybe next time i'll tell you more about vienna......
right now it's time for bed.......auf vedazen (or something like that).....

hey, you almost got how to say goodbye in german right. the phonetic spelling i guess would be "off viederzayn", and that's all that matters at this point.

hey! it sounds like you're having an amazing trip. i can't believe you're in vienna, that's awesome. my grandparents went there last year as part of this mozart tour they were on (my mom's parents). glad to hear you made it out of the country with all your luggage and everything. :) stay safe and have fun!!
