So, I finally made it! Ok, the last few days at home... rafting was amazing, Teri was the BEST river guide ever. Our meals were delicious, everything was premade and ready, we had wine, coffee delicious food, perfect weather and it was great quality time with my HR people from way back when I first moved there... can´t wait to do it again next summer! We did some wine tasting and one last dinner at 6th Street. PERFECT! I just had a little bit of time in Portland, I ran a zillion errands, saw some friends and got on a plane.
Vienna has been better than I expected. It is exactly what I had in mind when I thought about international teaching. I have walked a million miles, gone to cafe's, farmers markets, museums, beer gardens, rode on the famous ferris wheel, walked through an amusement park, eaten pork and drank spritzers. I also met another one of the new teachers, so that's been really nice to have someone to do these things with!
My second day here I toured all over the city looking for a place to live. I walked into one apartment and realized that I know where I want to live, 1st district, but how can I ever afford it! And, the commute to work might be LONG. Who knows... I'm currently staying at a friend's house while I look for a place to live. I'm so thankful! I'm not sure exactly what I would be doing if it wasn't for her! She arrives on Wednesday, it'll be so much more fun when she gets here! I'm leaving for Dubai the same day though, I guess that will give her a chance to settle in a bit. I can't believe work starts August 6th! That seems way too soon. Especially when I have no place to live. Oh well, I'm sure it will work out!
