I should have brought a coat with me. Right now it is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside and raining. Viel Spaß.
This morning, it looked as though it would be a nice day. After another cold shower, I put on my khaki shorts and a t-shirt. This won’t be the last cold shower that I take here since the hot water heater is apparently broken.
Like an idiot I did not think that I would need to bring a coat or even a jacket along … bad decision. Apparently Austrian weather is just as unpredictable as Indiana weather. Yesterday it was 90 degrees without a cloud in the sky here; today it is 50 degrees and raining.
All was well until after school when we took a city tour with Volker, the program resident coordinator. As soon as we stepped outside, it started pouring.
In the end, the grand Spaziergang around the city did not last very long.
After the tour of the city, I went with a few friends from the group to the Eckstein restaurant around the corner from the city hall.
We did not notice it immediately, but we were grossly under dressed for the place. Nonetheless, we ended up having a good meal although we got a few stares from the well-dressed Austrians inside the restaurant.
I ended up having some meat meal. (I thought I ordered pork, but I ended up with something that looked like veal.) Naturally, I had a Weizenbier to drink. The veal, pork or whatever I ended up with was excellent. The beer kind of sucked though; it was really bitter.
The forecast for tomorrow is more rain … schön!
