Well, we’re in Rome, but there’s no WiFi, so the dry blogging continues! On Tuesday we had a full day in Venice. We got up early and munched on the remainder of yesterday’s supper. Once that was all gone, we decided to check out and head to the beach. If you’re not familiar with Venice […]
Goodness, it’s been a bit since we’ve done a cheese review, hasn’t it? We just haven’t seen any new cheeses in Austria that were worth trying. That changed today in Venice when we were looking for some suppery foods at the grocery store. We came across these weird cheese cubes called Grana Padano (in Bocconconi). […]
Up to the minute update: It’s 6-9 and we’re in Rome. We finally got some Internet and are back-posting the dry blogging, but there’s a lot of re-writing to do, so it might take a bit! Greetings from Venice! Since we’re doing so much over the coming few weeks, we decided it would be best […]
The next morning we got up at 5:30AM and all quiet like snuck out of the room. Some of the other people had only gotten back at 4:45AM. We brushed our teeth and headed down to the tram. The plan was to take the tram part of the way, then walk up a street we […]
Yay, division of labor! I’m going to assume that Joni told you all about us getting to Budapest, Hungary in her last post. I’m writing this at the same time, so I have no idea what she wrote/is writing! Our full day in Budapest started out normally enough with some breakfast at the hostel. They […]
On day 2 in Bratislava, we took a tour, which started at Hviezdoslavovo Square. Before the tour, we just chilled in the square a bit. This is where the tour group meets, at the statue of Hviezdoslav. He was a poet. There was a statue of an unpopular politician here, but one day they blew […]
We’re back from Bratislava and Budapest and we need to blog about it before we leave for Venice tomorrow. We left early in the morning and got there around 1:00. The first thing we did was get checked into our hostel: Just kidding! Our hostel was completely normal. Bratislava is quite nice, although there is […]
During the big Linz Offenes Kulturhaus trip, we also hit up the Landesgalerie which is a museum that’s pretty dang close to the dorm. We’ve walked by it many times, but we only recently discovered that we can get in free with our culture cards. Free is too much. That place is just full of […]
Last Thursday (the 26th), we finally decided to head down to the Linz Offenes Kulturhaus (OK) to see what that was all about. We kept seeing these big wood walkways on top of this shopping center, and one of my students told me that you can go up there. And they incorporate art pieces into […]
