Okay, so I lied. THIS will be my last post from Vienna. A short one. I'm in the airport waiting for my veerrryy long flight from Vienna to Washington DC. It took 9.75 hours to get from Portland to Frankfurt, with another hour or so to Vienna. So why does it take 9.5 hours to get from Vienna to Wash.DC??? Then another 5.5 to Portland!?? That's a lot of flying. 3.5 hours in Wash.DC. Yes, I'll be ready to be home by the end of all this. I had a glorious time here in many ways. I feel melancholy leaving Vienna. It has had so much to offer me. Not all of it easy, but I'm very grateful. Zhander was so incredibly giving. So much information with so much caring and integrity. And so much to bring back!!!

So, see you all soon. Can't wait to be home. I have a list of things I want to do and places I want to eat, though after eating simple foods for three weeks I'll have to take it easy! Bye for now...
