Dear all,
Sorry I have not written in a while and haven´t yet added pictures. It is really hard to sit down and find the time to do it but I promise I will in the next few days.
The last week or so has been awesome. After Prague, we were off to Telc (pronounced Telch), a small town in the South of the Czech Republic. It has a beautiful town square that has been preserved from the 1400s. It was really relaxing and quiet, not much of a night life and a weird break from New York. All of a sudden, i had all of this time and didn´t really remember how to just hang out and relax. It took a few days but soon I was pretty comfortble doing nothing but sleeping, bike riding, swimming, and eating. Yes, I got back on a bike. With Loren as my patient teacher, I got over my fear of riding that I have had since I was 7 and saw my sister get bit in the ankle by a crazy dog. I was soon cruising through the countryside of the CR... I had forgotten how much faster you can get places on a bike. Definitely going to keep that up.
Anyhow, we are getting kicked out of the internet cafe but I will write about Austria and add pictures the next time I log on.

Lots of love,
Katherine
