Hello Family, Friends, Rotarians, and anyone else looking at my entry. I arrived yesterday in Vienna at 8:40 the airport was so much different than the ones in USA, probably because it is a neutral nation, i got off the plane and we were in the main terminal building that had shops and eating places i walked in the direction that said exit Vienna and after walking for about 5 minutes past more stores and many other branching off pathways before i reached where they stamped my passport. They didnt ask any questions about my stay or anything just stamped my passport and sent me on my way. I went to get my baggage and my two bags were the first ones one the baggage claim, then i went in another room and there was my family standing with a sign that said 'Hallo Holly, Willkommen in Österreich' it was so cute and I saved the sign. We then went and parked in Vienna and walked to a little outside cafe where we had breakfast and tried to visit a little bit. Then Hermann had to go to work so the rest of us piled into the car and drove about one hour to Traismauer. The driveway for our house is just like the roads in Lead, South Dakota, which means that they are a very steep incline. The house is so cute. The first three rooms were the original house that my father Hermann lived in. Mirjam and I walked into Traismauer and went to the ice cream shop where we ate ice cream with Philipp Clara and Ma who had driven there earlier. Mirjam and I then made apple strudel which was very yummy. I was able to stay up until about six when i told Mirjam that i had to take a nap and she said she would wake me up before dinner. So i slept till eight, ate dinner, talked the family a little bit, then went right back to bed for 13 hours. Today once i woke up we went to St. Pölten and shopped a little bit for Mirjam and then we went to the bank where i got an account that my rotary money will automatically go into and i get a card for it so that will be very nice. I also learned today that i will have my own very new computer and a cell phone so im grateful for that. Also in St. Pölten we went to store where me and my brother Julian went and shopped a little together. He tried on this big jacket and said 'is this gangster?' in a joking and funny way. I laughed and showed him the gangster way to wear his hat and how to walk it was so funny. So overall everything has been wonderful and ill be writing more soon!
