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
