Will’s bugging me to have him show me how to put photos in my posts. He doesn’t think I can figure it out on my own. Here’s a church we saw: Heehee.
I’ve heard a few people say that, sure, we’re going to Austria, but most Europeans speak English anyway. There have been many times in Germany when people I’ve spoken to have switched to English upon hearing my accent.

Mary Jo is blogging right now too! I wonder who’ll post first! Today we went out to the only big shopping center we know of. I’m sure there are others, but we don’t know about them… yet. We hit the Toys R Us (yeah, they have them), and did some browsing. This particular store was […]
