Frohe Ostern!!


Happy Easter to all my family and friends around the world, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I am spending a nice relaxing weekend on Sallaberg with the Lienharts, we have beautiful sunny weather and I couldn't be happier :) The Easter traditions here are so deeply rooted, it is a pleasure to be able to participate.  Tina and I went to the church this afternoon with our basket of food to have it blessed by the Priest in our village and it was lovely.  I apologize for the long time between posts, there has been alot going on around here so look for a long one after the Easter break!

Some amusing news from Austria...

Reading the news headlines here in Austria is often amusing, but I found today's particularly funny.  Apparently there have been a series of robberies in Oberösterreich (Upper Austria), the region just northeast of Salzburg.  The thief has been seen wearing an old-man mask during his escapades, but now he has suddenly had a change of attire.  He was caught this week wearing a mask of Obama's face, whether it's a political statement (likely) or he just thinks that Obama is very intimidating is yet to be seen.  Read more about the infamous Obama-robber by clicking the link below.
