My third Hike in Gaming

well in this hectic week at the Big K called Midterms I'm taking a small break to post what happened this weekend and why my ankles are in constant pain. this past week was a nice quiet one, on Friday night we Celebrated J-Dubbs birthday and we went to Urs, the local bar, and around midnight we made my way back. Then the next day i enjoyed sleeping in and didn't get out of bed until around noon, then i got some work done but mainly just had a lazy Saturday afternoon, that night about ten of the guys and I stayed up watching Band of Brothers in one of their rooms with a projector, and how they came in contact with said projector they did not say. the next morning was Sunday and after Mass me and my roommate decided to climb the mountain directly across the Kartausa we never found the original entrance of the switchbacks so we just headed straight up the mountain incline and all. then we came across the switchback and headed up the trail. After a while the trail got harder and harder to walk, because the snow kept giving way under our weight and we would step them fall a few feet until were stepping in snow up to our knees. so then once we made it up over 3/4 of the way up the mountain we decided that the path was too much while their was snow still on it and decided to climb the mountain later in the semester, but on the way down we decided to bushwhack our way and not take the switchback so we started our descent and Robbie, my roommate got ahead of me a bit and then at one point in time i noticed that my left foot felt different than my right one, and then i looked down and saw that my left foot didn't have a shoe on it! i looked behind me and i found it in a hole that i made while walking about five steps behind me so then i put it back on and took a step to see that my right shoe came off and was where i left it, after gawking at my luck i put it back on and tied it tighter. then we made our way down the mountain and all the way the show was at my thigh and had formulated all around my ankles. once we were back in town Robbie took out his pipes and we smoked on our walk back, we then hurriedly got out of our clothes and appreciated a nice hot meal and a relaxing evening and Monday morning i didn't have class and since then finals have kinda consumed everything

next time
ROME

Poland

well its Monday again but whats separates today from other Mondays is that THERE'S NO SCHOOL TODAY!! yes today we have off, mainly because most of the students arrived at the Kartausa today at two in the morning and they staff knew that none of those students would be coherent today if they made them wake up for 8 AM Classes. so let me tell you about this weekend, it started Thursday night when we loaded the buses at 8 PM to start the long bus drive, we started off with watching a movie by the name of John Q. then for the rest of the trip we took two pit stops and arrived at Poland around 6:15 in the morning. and let me remind you all of this day, is my birthday, and at one of the pitstops two friends of mine ran on my bus and tickled me until i was in a fetal position. there we had breakfast at quite literally some random hotel that we never saw again, then we went to the Shrine of our Lady of Chestohova or the Black Madonna which was supposedly painted by St. Luke on a table made by Jesus for Mary. and outside the shrine there was giant statues of the stations of the cross. Then we went to Auschwitz Concentration camp... on my birthday, and we went to Brinkenhoff the other half of Auschwitz, which was all a sobering time learning what happened there and to such a great magnitude. after we spent some time at the camps we made our way to Krakow where our hotel was, and i found out there was a casino like attached to our hotel and i was surprised, glad, and a little disappointed that i didn't even stick my head in there. then that night we went out on the town and stopped by a sports bar to celebrate my birthday, there was a big group that was in the Sports bar so we only bought one round there and went in search of another one, then we went and found this nice little pub-ish place in a 600 year old cellar. Then we went back and called it a night, except for that we spent about over an hour in our room talking. We awoke the next morning fine and started on our tours, but about half-way on my tour i was feeling less-than-par. so after my tour i located Joseph who had the key to our room and then went to the hotel and slept until 30 minutes before the buses left for the Diving Mercy shrine and weighed my options of getting out because i was still feeling ill, and decided it would be in my best interest to stay in bed, i awoke at 7:15 and felt back to my old self, then i proceeded to eat my sack lunch from the other day while i watched some shows in German and a BBC newscast which was ragging on America, then about ten minutes after that the buses came back from the shrine and then i went out with some of the kids again, i started out to go find where some authentic polish food was, but then i cut off the group to check out the open market and found a nice Chess set that was said to be hand carved and only for about 10 Euros, and then i was heading back to the Hotel to drop off my purchase when i ran into a group of tourists and apparently i looked like someone who knew where they were so they got my attention by getting in my way (but they were young so i wasn't really thinking about getting mugged)and then they asked me where the nearest bar was, so in a broken English accent i told then where the bar i went to last night was. Then i stopped by my room and dropped off my chess board, then i went out again, then as i make my way to the square i meet another group of Frannies (Franciscan Students) and joined them to find a gelato restaurant that was supposed to be really good, then after that two girls wanted to find a jazz bar, so not to have them go to a bar alone i joined them, and the bar we found had a live band and it was pretty cool, the band played all American songs and the singer definitely had some alcohol in him and he was swinging all over the place while keeping a firm hold on his mike stand and the mike itself never got an inch away from his mouth. then we headed back and went to the Hotel and i went up to one of my friends room to catch the end of a really intense Uno Game then we swapped stories with the RD who joined us, then i went down to my room to get my 2 liter bottle of Coke and then i arrived at my room i noted that the door was open and when i pushed the door open something knocked over and i heard something fall and within three seconds i had my knife out and was cautiously entering and turning on the lights but then i found out my roommate came back early and was asleep in our bed and the thing that fell was a coat once the door hit it, so i got my coke and went back upstairs, but as soon as we finished talking i went back down to my room and waited for my other roommate to make it back from his nightly escapades,then when he showed up around 1 we talked for a while and turned in around 2. we awoke the next day and i ran into the bathroom so i would be the first one and i utilized my time to be able to take a bath. then i went downstairs and are breakfast that was then proceeded by being bussed to the Castle Cathedral in Krakow after Mass me and Karol went to there was a statue of a dragon to Slay the Dragon(There's a back story to Krakow where the town was being plagued by a dragon so a nobleman said he could solve their problem so what he did was fill a sheepskin with sulfur so once the dragon ate it it needed to drink some water because the taste was horrible and once it drank the water it exploded and the dukes last name was Krakow so they just named the town after him) so once we made it to where the dragon was said to be and a statue was there to commemorate it we found a stand where it was selling stuff and i bought some items which consisted of a Dragon Knife and a flag but i didn't even spend over ten Euros and i was able to haggle with the guy for a price. then we "slew" the dragon and then started walking around the rest of Krakow where we ate at an authentic polish food, got some more gelatos and then made it in time for the buses to leave. on the way back we stopped by JPII's home town and while there we saw his house, home parish and we ate his favorite cake, and also we had some hot chocolate which I'm sure how they got it was just melt a bar of chocolate and pour it in a cup. then we finished and went to the buses and drove back where i was in the back of the bus and watched Karol the man who became Pope, then the front and was used as a headrest and leg rest and tried to sleep myself, operative word is tried, so i just listened to Matt Maher on my Ipod and crashed once we went to the Kartausa, and here i am, writing about it
funny how that happens,
tune in next week for "STAYING BACK AT THE KARTAUSA FOR A QUIET WEEKEND!!"

you ever been to Budapest? only to film a commerical

Its Monday again and here I am sitting in my bed after class blogging about my weekend before I lose my memories in the deep crevasse in my mind my adventure started about 11:30 Thursday night when talking “Let’s talk about going to Budapest” to “All right man were going to Budapest” we didn’t book a place to stay or know where a hostel was, all we knew that a train was leaving to San Pulton was leaving around 6:20 the next morning and we should be on it. But about the time I was ready to go to bed I realized that I would only get about four hours of sleep and since I wasn’t really tired I would pull an all-nighter so I went downstairs to see what else was up and then when I got down there I saw Katrina, a friend of mine and after for a while we decided to build a snow man so after we went back to our rooms to but on some more layers we came back down and started the build, but mind you most of the building consisted of her laying in the snow and me building the snowman after some time we completed my first real snowman to be built, then we went back inside and she went to bed while I went to the computer lab and watched Disney’s Robin Hood. And come 5:20 I went and got ready to leave, because we were suppose to leave around 5:30 and come 5:40 all three of us were ready to leave, the travelers this week was me, Jason Theobald and Daniel, and we left for the train station, which we were sure we were going to miss, that was until we were able to hitchhike a ride from a local, and we ended up arriving at the train station before the other students who left at 5:20 we then boarded the train and then made our way to San Pulton and one we were there we learned that if we make it to Vienna we could catch a bus there for cheaper than taking the train, so we got a ticket to Vienna and made it there, once in Vienna we got on a public tram and rode to the bus station where we got on and made our way to Budapest, along the way we renamed the currency to Hufflepuff (like the Harry Potter house) because the abbreviation for it was Huf. And we decided that what it was for. Once we made it to Budapest we followed some other Franciscan students to their hostel to see if we can stay in the same one but that hostel was out of room but the owner sent us to another one and once we were there we were able to haggle the price that we would pay with the owner. And then we dropped off our stuff and started to walk the town after some walking we came across a sports bar which was playing college basketball, and that was enough for us to say for a while, as we were enjoying our meal a waitress walked up to us and told us that they were going to shoot a commercial for the bar and we could either move to another table (out of the shot) or sign some papers and be in the commercial. So of course we signed the papers and got in the commercial the first scene we were in was just us eating in the background of the people they were originally trying to film, but then the director told us that they were filming the final scene and he wanted us in the other room to be in it. So we walked over there and found a table to look good at and then the director (Which was from Colorado, and the owner of the bar was from Canada and about half the people spoke English quite well) told Daniel that he wanted him in the front, and me and Jason about two rows behind him standing up. And there he wanted us to be in anticipation for a few seconds and when he said so we would jump up and get real excited and start yelling, and as we were leaving we were able to barter with the owner for us to get a free beer next time we come. After that we went back to our Hostel and turned in, we awoke the next day and then started off looking for the Turkish Baths that we heard so much about, we eventually found one of the seven that were in the city and this one was a nice indoors one, so we made our way in and then spent the next four hours there, it was amazing there was a spot where the hot water would fall into the water and just sitting under that was amazing, there was a steam room that we made our way into and that was great too, save the fact that there was so much steam I couldn’t see my accompanies even though they were sitting next to me plus it also made it hard to breath, the most we could handle was about three minutes at a time, but outside of the steam room was a chilled bath, so when we would get out of the steam room we would go into the chilled bath and stay there for a while, offering up our discomfort to each a special intention. After we got out of the baths we made our way back to the hostel and not a word was said between the three of us because we were in just this amazing place of serenity, after we dropped off our trunks at the baths, o and I might add we were practically the only people at the baths who wore trunks, Speedos were very popular. After that we dropped by a kabob stand and had an early dinner, then we walked more of Budapest, and then we ended up at the Legends Sports Bar again and after getting seating and ordering the first round of drinks Rob, the owner, found us and we reminded him that he owed us a round so he said the next ones on him, (Which he got us was Guinness and it was amazing) but at the bar was the England Wales Rugby Game and the whole bar seemed to be filled with England fans, most of which looked liked they played Rugby in College, and a few were shirtless and most was beyond intoxicated, but it was fun to listen to them singing their cheers, even though they spoke English we still had no idea what they were talking about. After the game was over, and England won, we stayed and watched some soccer. After we had our fill we made our way back to the Hostel and once we got there we found we acquired three new neighbors, so while talking to them we came to these conversation topics, how no one in Europe likes America/Americans, how if you speak English you have job security because you can go to a foreign country and teach it there, the American Government, and Marijuana is legal in Europe, and that came about when we were talking to them in conversation two of the guys took out a store bought bag full of it started rolling joints right in front of us, then they headed off to a Budapestian Bath Dance Party which we were thinking about going to before we saw them, and after our conversation we just went to our room and locked the door for the night. We awoke the next morning and checked out of the room and made our way to the bus station, which we realized was on the wrong side of town, it just looked really sketch, but we survived it, then we boarded and made our way to Vienna. Once we got there Daniel and Jason went to a Kabob Stand to get lunch because they didn’t have breakfast, I did because I had leftover of my loaf of bread, crackers, and some coke left, then as we walked into the Train Station we looked at the schedule and saw that a train left to san Pulton in five minutes, and they ran to the Red Box to buy the Tickets and I ran to see where the station was, then we ran to the train and got on about two minutes before it left. As we were on it the guy who checked our tickets told us to get on another train because this one is slow and at the next stop we can get on another and make it half-an-hour before the one we were on did, so we got off, found the train and got on it and then from San Pulton we went to Pulclorn and from there to Gaming. And then Monday night was the Super Bowl and all the guys (all 49 of them) made their way to the St. Francis Lobby to see it. Mike Hickey got me a Liter from the Keller and we sat next to each other enjoying our company (because we were rooting for other teams but still made it fun) then Ari, who is the Student life Directors son who is about 4 came up and said to Hickey “Hold this” and gave him his water, then looked at me and me and said scoot over, so I scooted over and he sat on the other side of me, and I then spent a majority of the first half trying to explain to him how football works, but I was able to convince him that the blue team was better, and the gold team would lose, he left a little before the first half with his dad, who had a blast watching him interact with me and Hickey. Then to my dismay I fulfilled a 7 year tradition of losing to Matt Di Filippo while betting on the Super Bowl, and then I went to bed. Tuesday went by pretty fast I had accountability with Stephen, Joseph, and Andy that night. And now it’s Wednesday two days after I started this blog.

o and FYI i didnt take any pictures on this trip so i can't put any on the blog

So it’s Monday, blah, especially after a weekend like this one. This weekend we went to Hallstatt, it is practically at the base and dug into this side of a mountain and I went with Stephen Dimassimo, Mike Hickey, Joseph Houde, and for half the trip with three girls, Mandy, Devon, and Michelle. The trip started off good, even though we got up and left the Kartausa (with about 50 other Franciscan students)and made the 35 minute trek to the train station and then waited for the train which was 20 minutes late, but no matter we all got on safely and then we were off! I slept for a majority of the first half of the train trip then as we were getting off the train and boarding others I was getting more steadily awake and along the way I and Stephen met a German teacher who was heading off to a Teaching conference for the weekend. Then before we knew it we were off the train staring at a lake with surrounded by mountains, then we jumped on the ferry to cross the lake and make our way to Hallstatt when we were there we actually met my roommate Robbie and his Girlfriend Rachel. And Michael, Stephen and I was talking to Robbie and Rachel Joseph ran off with the girls to find their hotel and ditched us the only problem was that he was the only one that knew where the guys were staying so we were wandering around the suburbs of Hallstatt looking for him, only to turn around and see the girls there where they were staying, and they pointed us in the direction where Joseph went. Once we found Joseph and the place we were staying we went off to see the town we ate at a nice little “hole in the wall” as my dad would put it and it only cosseted me three Euros to eat there, we also saw the local Catholic Church and Protestant Church we went up the mountain a ways and found a Gazebo with a great view of the lake and the surrounding mountains we waited there for a while until it was time for Friday night Mass and trekked down the mountain for it. Before Mass I called my parents on my friends phone, but the reason why I called proved to be useless because I didn’t even need the money that I asked for because what I wanted to get I realized was just an overpriced tourist trap. but Mass was amazing, it was the seven travelers and three locals in this quaint nice Church, and the cool thing was that I was able to keep along to an extent, even though it was in a different language, the Catholic Church in Universal and so is the Mass, Boom, that’s a glorious thing that we are able to partake in. so after Mass we went to this nice pizzeria and ate dinner there after that we went back to the bed and breakfast where we were staying to cool our heels, and after watching a majority of Disney’s “Robin Hood” in German we were ready to go our again, and we went in search of the local bars, and after some searching we found 1 of the two bars, which coincidently was the place where we had lunch, and the second bar in town was the pizzeria where we ate dinner (so in one day we unintentionally went to all the bars in Hallstatt) and after sharing a beer and talking the girls decided to go back to their place, but none of the guys volunteered to walk them back cus we were still in conversation, so the girls waked back alone, which was a terrible thing on the guys part, especially when Joseph gets a call ten minutes later and he says we need to leave (Right after Hickey gets another drink) so Stephen and Joseph go running out of the Bar I stay two moments later to See Hickey chug his drink (Which proved to be another bad idea) then I was off too in the direction where Joseph and Stephen left I came upon the girls with Joseph and Stephen and found out that they got scared because as they were walking a car passed by and someone shouted “OOO Americans! Take Pictures!” and that freaked them out. That night we didn’t stay up too late talking and we woke up around nine to the land lady at our door with our breakfast which was a feast might I add, and after a satisfying breakfast we went off and meet the girls and then went to the local grocery store and the girls bought some stuff that would need for the return journey, and I bought a Liter of cola, which costed me .79 Euros, but it saved me from buying soda at the restaurants for 3 Euros after exploring, probably the whole town of Hallstatt the girls had to leave and we saw them off at the ferry, after we said goodbye the guys started their trek up the mountain when we reached the gazebo which we found yesterday we pulled out our cigars (which we bought that morning) and decided to have some man time. So we were sitting in Gazebo overlooking this majestic view and having a cigar with some of my good friends, we had a great time. So after we were rested more than enough we continued our trail up the mountain, and it indeed was a long hike, we stopped nearly at every turn to read a sign that said the history of Hallstatt, and at one point we found this little shelter and rested there a while and while we rested we started to beat box and this went on for a solid 2 minutes and we kind of wished we were in a recording studio because we sounded pretty good. Then we continued upward and eventually made it to the top and indeed it was a glorious view, even though it was cloudy, and we were pretty close to the clouds it seemed. So on the descent we took a different approach instead of taking the switchbacks down we decided to slide down it, which was interesting concerning that three of the four of us didn’t have snow pants on, and I was one of them. So I put all my stuff on my inside coat pocket and started the slide, the first one was great when I slid I picked up snow and it was going along with me it was like a mini avalanche, or like a cloud of snow that I was just riding on then we would stop at the trail, then cross the trail, and do it all over again, and that would continue for the next twenty minutes, and yes it took us three hours to climb up the mountain and twenty minutes to slide down it. After we arrived at the base of the mountain we went back to our bed and breakfast and dried off and had dinner, then we went to a restaurant and shared drinks and had a very philosophical conversation which entailed me being an Atheist and the others would try apologetic on me in our pursuit of trying to find out “What is Love?”, “What is Truth?”, and “What is the Greatest Good?” after that we headed back to where we stayed and slept soundly. We awoke again to a feast provided by our landlady then we packed our things and checked out and went to Mass. After Mass the priest blessed the candles then one by one he blessed the people who went to Mass with the candles, which I thought was cool, then we went to the first bar where we had lunch, and we didn’t have any alcoholic drinks, I just had a coke with Hickey and Me and Hickey played Chess while Joseph watched and occasionally helped him while Stephen played guitar, and at one point a local came past our table and told me to move a piece so I moved it. Then after we burned an hour we headed our way down to the dock to catch the ferry, then we started our journey back which was fun, it was just us traveling until we came back to the last leg of the journey where we meet about forty other students and then we conversed about our journeys and everyone said that they had the best weekend and I’m sure in our own books we all did. So not I’m here the next day after class typing about my journey for all the public to read, hope you like it .


and Ps is wrote this on monday but posted it on tuesday

Salsburg & Munich

So this weekend was quite an amazing one, it started off great with a sledding trip around the mountains by the Kartausa, and by doing it I got to meet some of the Professors kids and that came in handy because at one point i was tackled by one of my friends and in turn all the kids tacked him, so the sledding consisted from after my class that ended at 3 to supper then after supper i was convinced to go sledding again then after that i attended the first Festival of Praise this year.

then the next morning we woke up early for the bus ride to Salzburg and upon arrival we had Mass in a very nice Church, then we went off and had Lunch at a just as nice restaurant (it's nice to see that the University was spending our money well) and then they gave us free time to wander about Salzburg, me and a few other kids used it to Validate (not our Euro-rail but another thing that lets us travel around Austria for half off), and along the way we were window shopping and saw a lot of other cool things, after we spent a healthy time walking around we found a nice Italian shop and decided to have Supper there, and after that i went off to the Classical Concert (which was nothing like i expected) then after that i went off (with practically everyone else who was at the concert) to the local Beer hall and shared our experiences over a liter, then Fr. Brad came along and taught us a Song in German that was really epic, and when we tried to sing it, it resulted in Charles breaking his beer mug. So after that as we were walking back some of us decided to Stop by Shamrocks (Irish Pub) and i ducked in there too, i didn't have anything to drink there but i did make friends with the Bouncer, and i learned that he's getting married in 2 months, he's from the Ukraine, he a newly converted Christian, and after some talking he went off and got me a free Red Bull drink.

Then the next day started and we jumped on the bus to Munich and that was fun it started in Mass, then a tour around Munich where i saw the famous bell thing at 12:05 and eventually the Chicken flapped his wings, after about 10 minuts of waiting. and then lunch at the Hofbrahouse (a world famous beer hall) and this is where i heard the story of when Munich was on fire and the fire department had no water to put it out, all the beer halls joined together and put it out with their brew, so Beer saved the city of Munich. After lunch i went off with some other kids to the open air market, and looked at the local shops, after that we went to the Marian Square (coincidentally where at the time Bishop Ratzinger prayed every morning) and we sang the Diving mercy Chaplet at 3:30. After that i purchased a very nice scarf for a lot cheaper that i usually saw scarfs, then we went in search for the a Cafe that was famous for its Hot chocolate, we eventually found it and i had some "caramel and rice crispy" and i would argue that it is definitely in the top Ten of Hot Chocolates. so after that we found our way to the buses and made our way back to Salzburg, and when we were back i went out and got my first Kabob, which was insanely Delicious.

The Next morning we had Mass with the Archbishop, in the first total German Mass that i ever had, and then we took the buses to a famous Church was was shown in "The Sound of Music", and i was was physically in a lot of places that was shown in the movie Sound of Music too. but at that church i was able to get some Holy Water, and then we took the buses back to the Gaming, and after that we had time before the Menza (Cafeteria) opened so i talked to my parents over Skype (which was really nice and about time i did it too) then we ate Supper and afterwards i was able to finish my Homework

so now its Monday and i finished my first Class and now waiting for lunch

ummmm its wendsday

so its Wednesday and my last post was on Sunday so i feel like i must put something up, its actually been pretty packed I've been keeping up with my homework and that's been keeping me busy for the majority of the time, recently ive been thrown in a panic of late when i was told that i needed slacks when we go to the Vatican and especially when we got to a classical concert this weekend in Salsburg, so this past Monday me and my roommate walked around four miles looking for this clothing store that a priest told us about. with no luck and drenched in snow and water we came back to our room diminished in spirit (plus we went into this shady department sore that was probably a front for something else) then Tuesday we had the afternoon classes off so me Steven Dimassimo and Michael Blankenberger went on a hike behind the Kartausa this led to some interesting stuff like following railroad tracks punching snowballs and sliding/falling down a very steep hill we also had a very glorious descent down the hill which several persons of the opposite sex saw and enjoyed i believe. (the descent mainly consisted of us sliding down on our bums) then after that me and my roommates sorted our trash which is really important to the Austrians, then as soon as we were finished with that we realized that our room was a mess and a RA was going to show up in five minutes to check it. this resulted in a mad dash to get our room tidy and we actually did it we cleaned our room and it passed satisfaction. and then this leads us to today... Wednesday... so yea... nothing out of the blue happened(besides you know, being in a foreign non-English speaking country) me and one of my roommates went to the local store and stocked up on food, and some select beverages, and i found out that there is no store in the little town of gaming that sells slacks (after a salesperson tried to sell me underwear) o and while i was on my computer in the downstairs lounge there was a fire drill, i didn't know what was going on originally until it was about halfway over then me and a few other kids had to rush outside, and guess what i was barefoot, in the snow, so my roommate let me borrow his sandals on the condition that i would carry him on my back, so that happened for a good ten minutes before they let me back in, so im downstairs again, and after i finish this I'm hopefully gonna finish the 60 more pages i have to read!
i know but its something i gotta do

-Tyler Peltier

Vienna

So its been a while since i last "Blogged" but since then i went to Vienna
while at Vienna we did an assortment of things, first we went to Mass at a quaint little Church, then they took us on a tour of a lot of historical monuments and churches, St. Stevens is one of them (Look at picture of awesome church) and then we ate at this really good restaurant couldn't really tell you what i ate, think it was chicken but the served a weird salad and i don't like salad already so i passed on that. after that the school group spit up and me and a few other kids went wandering around Vienna, while wandering we found the National Treasure, that's where we lost a few of them, then we continued our search of something fun then we stumbled the national museums of Art and History and that's where we lost everybody save me and two others by the name of Trish, and Katie, when it was just us three we went off to the main shopping area where i found this Vienna Beanie that i became attached too and eventually bought, while we were wondering around we saw a person who was painting pictures with Spray paint that looked unreal but we say her do it as we were looking at her (see other picture) then we went to a chocolate shoppe where i invested in some delicious chocolate bites for only two euros then we went looked around again and found a quaint little Church called St. Ann's and we caught the end of some ceremony after that we went to the top of some judicial building and i saw some household brothers of mine so i started singing our household song but i guess they were too embarrassed to sing along because they just looked up at me and kept walking. after ten to thirty minutes of standing on the roof and collecting other Franciscan students it was time to go and we promptly left.
The next day arouse (today) and we went to Mass at ten, after Mass i tried to start on my homework and i got a little done before i went to a tour of the Kartousa and and on that tour i went all around, from a small little garden to the big Library , to the bell tower that had some Russian Graffiti on it. After the tour in a spontaneous rush of excitement a bunch of the guys went up and jumped in the river that runs by where we stay (see picture again)
after that glorious victory i tried to study a bit more then i went to Dinner then afterwards i went to the ATM to withdraw money for the Salsburg trip and now i sit here in the ground floor lobby listening to Theresa and Teresa play the Piano along with a few other students


so there
goodbye
