Time in Austria

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

i got a new phone.

and my new phone has a camera.

Conjunction lesson number 1: never start a sentence with "and"...


Here are some photographs that I have taken over the last week.



on the train coming back from Amstetten after buying the new phone.



Steve, my American friend, in the kitchen.



Wieselburg. Yes, this is what noon on a typical Mostviertler Austrian day looks like... gloomy, huh?



Wieselburg and the Erlauf, the river that runs through it.




The Erlauf and ice in Scheibbs



The peaceful exchange of power as seen on CNN.



OUR NEW GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Sitting at the train station in Wieselburg. I have decided that about half of my time in Austria is spent waiting for trains...



Train station in Wieselburg.



Looking the other direction from the train station in Wieselburg... all of these were taken in the morning. Notice the lack of sun... :-(



The Regional train from Kienberg-Gaming nach Pöchlarn.



A really bad photograph of me next to the Erlauf in Scheibbs.



Yes. They have John Deere in Austria... surprise, surprise.

And as Jeff Jeske says, "You've got to know the rules before you can break them."
And, like, at least you know them!
Good luck tomorrow!
