Austria and Christmas






The Cemetery at the end of the Sound of Music where they hide as fleeing.



Do-Re-Mi stairs





Well, we made it home. It is pretty great to be home, but there are a lot of things that we miss about Europe. We are enjoying American hamburgers, popcorn, and family I guess too. Here are some pics from our final hurrah in Austria.

goodbye Europe!!

we never thought it would come, and it still isn't quite here, but on monday we're leaving beautiful europe to go home. To celebrate our final weekend, we are in Austria. We got into Vienna last night and went to a Christmas market. This morning we went to Salzburg. It was really fun there. And I got to see tons of things from the Sound of Music. How do you solve a problem like Maria? We're heading back to Budapest tomorrow after a day more in Vienna, and then on Monday (weather permitting) we'll get HOME!! we are so excited. But of course a little sad to end our 7 month vacation. Pics soon...

Christmas Season

Well, the Christmas season has reached Budapest, and we are so excited. We love this time of year, and are especially excited for Christmas this year (as we are getting home on the 20th). Here are some of the highlights.

Christmas Market

Hot and Fresh Kurtoskalacs (Chimney Bread, covered in cinnamon and sugar) at the Christmas Market. So Good.
