Ok so on friday night my roommate and I babysat for our Host mom and her fiance so they could go see a movie together while he was in town. All we had to do was watch a movie and get the toddler ready for bed. We watched matilida in german which was a ton of fun the kids just sat and watched the movie and ate pretzels except Alias he ran around threw pillows and what not but thats ok since Hillary doesnt really like to sit still. After the movie the kids got ready for bed and we went to sleep. A very excting friday. Well its nice because now our host family's daughter talks to us and shes kind of shy so its a neat thing.
On saturday we got up way early...aka 6 am in order to meet our group by 7 to travel to the town of Melk (yes the name of this town got a lot of jokes made about it). There we saw this crazy monestary that started with a bunch of rooms with black lights and what not it was crazy! I mean monks still live there and they have over 200 employees since its such a big business because of tourists and what not. So that was pretty cool even though it was cold and raining-I had an umbrella don't worry. Ok so after that we were supposed to do a 34 km bike ride from Melk to Kremes-it had stopped raining but it looked like it should start up again. The other option was to go get cookies and hot chocolate(cookies in Melk how perfect right) but the majority were up for still hitting the trail. By the time we got to Kremes it was coming down pretty hard so Margret and I were glad that we opted to ride on the bus instead of going 20 miles in the pouring rain. I guess a couple hours later our director called us and this is when we started organizing the rescue mission. Which was interesting since our group of 20 people were spead out over the last 10 miles bad at describing where they were and our driver had a very thick accent. Well and hour or so later everyone was on the bus and we headed back to vienna. Woot. Woot.
