Hello from Europa!

Greetings from Europe. After almost a full day of traveling, I have safely arrived. Yesterday was a whirlwind of a jet-lagged day as the 21 other young, American travelers and myself were whisked around Munich, later to enjoy a private dinner seating at an exciting and warm (!!) Hofbrauhaus at night. Beer was sloshed, cups were clanked, songs were sung. It was a great and welcoming first night.

Today we are in Ahhhnold's home, Austria, where we rode swift gondolas up snow-capped mountains. Unfortunately we don't have enough time for me to strap on some skis and join the locals, but I'm taking a break from strolling through the quiant city to write this post in an internet cafe, which coincidentally is a cafe I've visited in 2006 with friends (it's next to the Magic Pizza Shop where we got in trouble for bringing the pizza onto the bus, haha!).

It's positively freezing, but I'm glad to have brought my thickest coat (it's still not enough though!). I'm off to Venice and Florence in a bit, then Switzerland and finally Paris. Updates soon and huge hugs from me to you!
