I had a bunch of friends over to my place last night for wine, munchies and all around hilarity. So much hilarity that eventually the neighbors complained. But we had a great time and I was just so glad everyone came over. I took a bunch of PICTURES - realized I've been slacking in that department lately!!!
Tomorrow Viola, Z and I are driving out to Linz. I'm looking forward to the trip. We're going to wander around the Danube Valley region on our way and check out some of the wineries. We have a hotel booked in Linz and Friday we're heading out to Mauthausen-Gusen - the concentration camp there. It was one thing I really wanted to do in Europe. Some find it gruesome, to me it's acknowledging the pain and suffering these people endured. We're going to wander back Friday afternoon. Z has a car here and he offered to drive, so we're going to zip around in his BMW convertible. It's pretty thoughtful of him to offer.
In not so bright news, Leah's uncle Galen died this week. I had myself a bit of a sob fest last night. Galen was such a wonderful person - one of those people that it's just so wonderful to be around. I looked at plane tickets this morning to go back to MN for the funeral -but they are well up into the $2200 range now and I can't swing that. But I feel so bad for all of them.
