Yay!!!
The next great thing was having my first powder day skiing. My host family loves to alpine ski but we didnt have a powder day until January.
This makes me sooo happy
The next amazing part of this month was having two balls and in between them a week with my Austrian class in Vienna!!
We arrived in Vienna on the 17th, and after dinner we went to an all English movie theater. It was astonishing how many people were there, I never would have guessed that there were so many English speakers in Vienna,
Haydn......
On Monday, the 18th, my class and i visited Schön Brunn
On the way there
The castle and I...it was a cold week
A part of the gardens....sadly no photos are allowed to be taken inside. This is a really beautiful place in the fall when all the leaves have turned red.

After the castle and lunch we went to Karlskirche (karls church) and had a short tour there and then went to Belvedere..an art museum and a building representing the baroque times of Austria.
Karlskirche from the outside
Its saying running and jumping it putting your life in danger. And yelling is not cool. It has this sign because they are repainting the church and have a platform set up so you can go all the way up to the top....only the platform sways and there can only be up to 10 people on it.
