I am taking two classes on this program: German 1 and German 102. German 1 is a first level language course, and German 102 is a history, arts, and culture class. Don’t take three classes on this program. There’s barely enough time to take two. These cities are amazing, and there is always something to do. If you find yourself with any free time, you are definitely doing something wrong.
Class goes from 9 AM to 1 PM for me. This time will vary depending on what combination of classes you take. Right after class, we left for a group tour of Vienna’s historical buildings in its beautiful old town. After an absurd amount of walking on the tour (which we are told we will get used to soon), the big group dispersed, and Brendan, Jenna, Sophia, and I went to a café where I got a seven euro hot chocolate which was worth every cent.
The day took a wonderful turn for the even more interesting when we decided to go to the Danube River on a whim. As we got out from the train stop, we found a giant trampoline suspended over the river. Two euro for ten minutes of trampoline jumping time, a setting sun, and a wide angle lens was a recipe for success.
After burning at least 500 calories jumping on the trampoline, it was time to get Mexican food. Yes, it’s mildly silly to get Mexican food on the first full day of being in Austria. However, after walking for 45 minutes trying to find a restaurant that was only 12 minutes away and after our food finally came, we realized that the Austrians seem to do Mexican food better than the Americans. Way better.
Stomaches filled, legs, tired, we returned to the hotel.
