Yesterday (Saturday) was our day off, so we walked around the town of Baden with Julie, one of the Oasis team members. Becky and I have been to Baden before - we spent a day there two years ago when we came to Austria with our moms, and we had fun memories of the town, so we were excited to go back. Julie was a great tour guide. She showed us her favourite coffee shop (Ebuscho, I think), walked us through some beautiful parks (the Rosarium and Couer Park, which I know I'm not spelling correctly). We had a delicious lunch of doner kebab and salad. Becky took the pictures, mostly. Yes, you read that right, we finally have pictures!! Apologies for not having any up sooner.
A few things I've noticed/learned about Austria:
1) The toilets tend to be separated from the showers - separated as in different rooms. I have no idea why, but I've seen it in practically every home we've been in.
2) Just like souvlaki is the cheap lunch in Greece, in Austria you can get either doner kebab or a slice of pizza. I don't know why those two particular foods, but wherever you get kebab, you can get pizza.
3) Everything closes EARLY here! By 5:00, just about everything is closed for the night. This makes grocery shopping a bit tricky, since we work in the day and usually aren't done until around 6:00. Still trying to figure out a schedule for that.
4) I miss my family and the Athens team :(
Enjoy the pictures! Becky will post them in a separate blog.

The habit of putting a toilet in its own little room is where we get the phrase "water closet," or so I've been told.
You guys are doing a great job of blogging. Keep it up!
