PHOTOS!



Bactrian Camels came to Wieselburg for a circus. I tried to make friends with this one, because I think camels are awesome... but I don't think he wanted to be friends with me.



These horses kept biting eachother like this. It was very odd. I think they had itches. It's kind of hard to scratch your back when you are a horse... no opposable thumbs.



Camels loving on eachother.

























Eric's hands and mine.









Eric Campbell came to visit me, and I made him model...




















more hands...
























I'm a little obsessed with hands














Sarah and I took this shot to convince people that it's not always gray and rainy in London!










Guy dancing at the Victoria Tube Station.








Sarah in the only legal grafiti street in London (or so we were told). It's a little flat, and not in focus, but I like it anyway.

Alliteration to the extreme... notice how unhappy they are.



London Eye... way too expensive, hence the ground shot.









Sarah doesn't like pigeons... but one snuck into this shot. muahahahahhaa












Boy, Cellphone, Jellyfish












The Ray Pool. The rays came up to the surface like this, wanting to play and be touched. We got yelled at though, for sticking our hands in the tank and touching the rays.











Sistine Chapel shot.












Stingray... I am pretty sure they had had their barbs removed.

Spring Break

So I now have only 55 days left in Austria and it is both going too fast and not fast enough.

I had an excellent Spring Break. I saw Sarah Campbell for the first time since last July and that made me supremely happy. We wandered around London thoroughly exhausting ourselves in the two and a half days that we had in the city. Pictures will come probably next week.

After London I went to Idolsberg where I celebrated my birthday (am now 23) and worked in the forest with the Webers doing manual labor. It was a lot of fun, and I have decide that I missed my calling as a lumberjack! :-)

I then returned to Wieselburg, mildly suntanned and exhausted. Eric Campbell then arrived to visit me on Monday, and left this morning. We had a lot of fun, hiking, eating Austrian icecream... muahahahah, watching violent movies, and cooking. He left just a few hours ago, on his way to Munich and then back to Paris.

I am currently in the computer lab at school, ready to leave and get out and enjoy probably the last day of sunshine for a week or so. (sad) I am simply grateful for the two full weeks of cloudless sky and 75 ° weather we have had.

My parents will be arriving in exactly a week from today and I CAN NOT WAIT!

I hope all is well back in the states. I am coming home soon.
