Grüß Gott!

That’s hello in German (specifically in Austria).

Hey ya’ll! My first blog post in Austria brought to you from the Vienna International Airport. Right now I’m watching MASH with my buddy Greg in the McDonalds outside of baggage claim. The bus that will be taking the rest of us to the Austrian Campus won’t be here for a another few hours since there are more people who still have to fly in. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet that it is already 10:30 here while it’s still 1:30 back in California.

I got just a tad of sleep on the plane, but I was quite entertained by the On Board Cameras that Austrian Airlines had installed. On the nose camera view, you could see a few stars. On the underbelly camera, when we were passing over land, you could see blobs of light through the clouds. But the “view” from the camera was nothing compared to the view out the window. The network of lights that showed the roads to the skies looked something like…neurons all connected together. Quite the view.

On the Vienna flight, they fed us dinner and breakfast (not at the same time naturally). Dinner…I could swear, smelled like Chicken Divan. It wasn’t, but it was still pretty good, considering it was airplane food. At least all that was complimentary, plenty of service, good food, water, coffee, tea, beverages, etc. Twas pleasant.

Well, I think that if I’m going to post on a regular basis during my stay abroad…I need to keep these posts… manageable. So if there is anything else I need to fill you in on…you’ll just have to find it out in the next installment!

God Bless!
