Yes, I've been the opposite of a blogger, writing pieces of intended blogs in Word and then never posting them. Genius. In an attempt to catch up a bit - here's some backtrack!
Last Wednesday (this was like 3 weeks ago) we took a day trip to Passau, Germany (about 1.5 hours away) just over the Austrian border on the Danube. We had a lecture in the morning from a very interesting German professor about the DIS (the German arbitration code), then the day to explore. The St. Stephan's cathedral was incredible - it has the world's second-largest pipe organ, and the ceiling paintings were breathtaking. We stopped at a cafe on the Danube for lunch, which was very relaxing, and our food was great - Laura and Eric had wienerschitzel and I had the strogonoff, which was some of the best food I've ever had (it came with potato pancakes - yum!). It was much more heavy on the bell peppers and sour cream than I'm used to, and it's still up there as one of the best meals of the trip (I am obsessed with the food over here - I had no idea what I've been missing!). I guess we just got lucky because we were STARVING when we got off the bus and stop at the first place we saw with a patio, and jackpot!

We spent the rest of the day walking around the main part of the city and the area down by the river. The city had some great public squares (like most of Europe), but the banks by the river were green and had beautiful statutes and parks, and I preferred hanging out down there to hiking around the stone buildings. But there was a main street running through town with cafes and shops, which the bulk of our group wandered along, eating gelato, until it was back to the Raabheim in Linz to read for class the next day.
