City Exploring

I did three things of note today--

1) took a city map and went for a walk all by myself

2) shopped for the first time on Mariahilferstraße

3) rode a motorcycle for the first time!!!!


Today was one of the first days without rain so my hostfather allowed me to take a walk for an hour. I got lost and stuff, exploring around the Volksgarten, where there are many roses, which are so beautiful. I also lost track of time, so I came home like 20 minutes earlier than I was supposed to. However it was a very quick walk and so it was very good exercise.
I live on the fourth floor of my apartment so even though the food is very rich and delicious here, I am perhaps slimmer. Not in a bad way, I promise, I'm looking very healthy.

The Mariahilferstraßse is a very famous street where there are many stores, some expensive, some supported by child labor and very cheap. I had to buy special shoes for my gym class (which sucks, because Wien is so expensive...). I also bought house shoes which are knockoff birkenstocks, but not the Jesus sandal kind, they're crisscrossy.

Also my host father took me for a ride around Wien by night on his motorcycle. Very fast. I am in love with it. I want one now. ehhe.

I should go now. Baba!
