the hills are alive (or something to that effect)

so the internet is kinda slow here, which makes it pretty difficult to upload photos. in the place of photos, hopefully i can give you a general idea of what has been going on in austria through my words. we arrived in austria sunday night, and some of us decided to go for night hike since there are some amazingly beautiful mountains here. we started off on roads, ended up on some trails, then went off the trails, and eventually some how made it back to our htoel. overall pretty fun.

monday schedule was breakfast, devotions, class, class, then lunch, then free time, which i spent walking around town and catching up some homework and studying.

tuesday: breakfast, devotions, test, professor lead discussion on grad school, lunch, and that night as a group we all went bowling. my score wasn't spectacular but overall it was a great time.

wednesday we had breakfast, devotions (which i lead with a girl from our group), class, class, lunch, and then we had a corporate visit to Swarovski Crystal. the girls loved it, i was kinda bored. they also had a section of their plant dedicated to art, which of course was modern art, and was weird.

thursday was more of the same, with class, except today we went to a mountain lake about 45minutes from where we are staying. and let me tell you, the water was freezing. we had a fun time "swimming" but it was fun to be outdoors, play some frisbee, and walk around town. we have a big project due on monday so a lot of our free time the past few days has spent working on this project.

today we had class this morning and this afternoon i have no idea what i'm going to do. not much to do in town, so might go for a hike, work on the project a little bit, and i need to get packed up because we are leaving for lucerne, Switzerland tomorrow, with a stop at Arlberg Pass along the way.
