Smooth sailing...

Thank goodness my luggage arrived and I'm done with that big, stinky old mess. It was nice to be able to get dressed this morning without going "OK - how can I scrape together one more work-appropriate outfit?" It was so nice. After work we all went down to the UN Bar and I met a bunch of other interns that were lovely. I'm really glad that I went down there. We had a good time, then 3 of them came back to my apartment and we made pasta and bread for dinner with apple strudel for dessert - hello carbs! How I love thee! It was a good dinner - really nice to have a few people over and enjoy some conversation and company.

Tomorrow Victoria and I are taking the train to Bratislava for the day. It's only an hour by train from the Sudbahnhof here in Vienna. It should be a lovely day trip. I would love to see Bratislava Castle - I don't know what Victoria had in mind. She said that they have a lot of markets that are fun to visit. At any rate - tomorrow I'm going to Slovakia. Just another amazing country to add to my list of places I've been this year! I know we're also making a sojourn to Prague and I think I might take Mom to Budapest for a couple days. There is SO much to see in Vienna that I don't know if we're going to fit that in too - but we'll see. I'd like to leave some of it up to her.
