Photos

I always intended this blog to have more photos but I've never gotten into the habit of carrying the camera around with me everywhere I go like I did with whichechoes. But I intend to make good so here are some photos of our first season in Vienna:

These are my German classmates. The students in this picture left to right are from Iran, Taiwan, Serbia, Brazil, Quebec, Turkey and Italy. It's interesting hanging out with people from all over but at the same time none of these people speak English very well and I've come to realize I am much more clever in my mother tongue. Did you know the butt in German is Popo. That's pretty funny.
Here I am in Bratislava, Slovakia with two of our new friends...and this jolly metal man. Bratislava was on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain and you can still feel it. There's less commerce, fewer people out an about, and outside of the city center the buildings are boring and sad. Communists don't care much for decoration.

These are painted eggs that were sold at the Eater markets around town. They also had stalls with hot sausages and beer.

This is in the Alps south of Salzburg. The mountains aren't nearly a tall as the Rockies but the terrain was good and the snow wasn't bad for March.

I removed a video from this post that showed Shannon sliding down a ski slope on her bottom and telling me how angry she was with me for making her go down that particular run. At first I thought it was funny, but I don't think it is, so I removed it.

When you release the Ach Bruder: The Director's Cut, you can put it in the deleted scenes special feature.
