Random sightings or experiences


Below is an assortment of random sightings and experiences from the past couple weeks. I hope you enjoy them. They are listed in no particular order.
  • Michael and I didn't buy a real Christmas tree. Instead we cut some branches from the sickly looking evergreens propped up all over Pöchlarn and made our own. Ours definitely looks better than the trees on the street.
  • We picked up that little pumpkin in the background at the beginning of October. We found it in a field on our bike ride back from Baumaxx (Austrian equivalent to Lowe's) and it was completely green. Two months later it's turning orange!
  • I finally got my chocolate crepe fix at one the many Viennese Christmas markets.
  • Last weekend we bought a candy bar out of a vending machine in Vienna. We put in exact change so I wasn't expecting anything in return. I usually check the coin return anyway though because you never know. And guess what?! 80 cents was in there!
  • We were shopping for salad dressing at Spar and one of our choices was "Thousand Islands" - Islands with an "s". Haha!
  • Spare ribs anyone? Elsa and Josef made sure we don't turn into spare ribs by taking us out to eat at this delicious restaurant in Vienna.



  • Today they were doing some statue work outside. One man working, five men watching and a one free-swinging bishop. Amen to that.
