After a late night last night consisting of meeting some people, drinking my first Austrian beer, as well as some delicious Becherovka, and watching a movie, I slept in until 11:00. Today I finally got a tour of the Kartause and three of the students began painting our flat - it needed it! Here are some of the pictures I took today:
The Kartause
A portion of the Medieval wall which surrounded the monastery in order to fend off the Turks
One of the mountains which literally surround Gaming
Part of the ceiling of the "Sistine Chapel of the North", the library of the old monastery

Did they show you the "tridentine chapel" above the adoration chapel? It's a nice quiet place to pray. God bless,

No. I haven't seen that. How can I find it?
Hey, John! Glad you've landed and been getting settled. So -- you've made the acquaintance of Becherovka. Great stuff, eh? :)
Thanks for keeping a 'blog. It will be fun 'keeping up' (cyber-wise) with you, Lisa, and Maria.
Peace,
Good to hear from you, Margo. It is great stuff. I actually discovered the delightfully Christmasy Becherovka at Ave Maria College via an Eastern European friend. I've had trouble finding it in the States though, so this is certainly a welcome aspect of living in Austria.
Pax!
its SO pretty !!!!!!
