First week in Vienna

Its been a whole week since I arrived in Vienna, Austria. This first week has been a lot of new things. The language is one of the first things that was hard to get used and is still taking some time to get used to.

In just the past week i feel like I've seen a lot. The first night here the group and I went out to desert and that was the first glimpse of St. Stephens which was amazing. Everything here seems to be even more amazing then the United States. It's a weird thought to think that most of the buildings here are older then the U.S. itself.

Had the first experience with Prof. Kroll. He is very knowledgeable and funny too. He took everyone to the Museum of Wien to learn more about the city and Austria. The museum is a short 10 minute walk from the Theresiam and is past another amazing church, St. Charles.

The group took a trip to The Belvedere which is a museum with amazing paintings and sculptures as well. The building itself is an artwork in itself. Nicole, Pie, and I went back to the Belvedere to explore the grounds and it was amazing.

Basically it's only been seven days and I already feel like theres so much to talk about but can't get it all in at once. I could probably write for days just about the first week. But there is too much.
