Hanging out in Vienna

In between writing (both), commuting (him), and feverishly applying for jobs (me), sometimes we look out the window. This week has had the full array of weather, from super hot to super rainy, and we even saw a double rainbow.

After our 1 year anniversary date last Monday, we had a great night out with some new friends at an experimental sushi restaurant (if it ain't broke...) called Dots, and then went to this strange place called the Donau Insel Fest. It is a free music festival, but seemed restricted to the harder elements of society, and we got our fill of neck tattoos, metal bands, and bad house music. It seems there is another element of Viennese society, who do not listen to Opera and take their melange in the mid-afternoon.

Nils worked a lot this weekend (boooorrring), but I made him go out mountain biking with me, and we discovered an amazing new route home, on a small windy bike path from the mountains. We look forward to having our friends and family (YOU) come visit, so we can take you there (don't worry, you can walk and there is wine along the way - win win!).

This week, I'm heading to the UK to see my old partner in crime, Kate C, and then we will head to Zurich to take in a little Agent Based Modeling and chocolate, so I'll give the lowdown on that excitement next week...
