It’s going to get really old hearing this month after month, but I really cannot believe we’ve been here three months! I’m especially sad (kind of pretty depressed) that October is over, because it simply flew by and it’s one of my favorite months. However, it’s hard to be blue for long now that November and the holiday season are upon us!
While I was worried that this month’s recap would be boring as it’s mostly felt like work, work, work to me, after thinking about it, I realized it was full of fun and travel as well as work. It was actually our busiest (and most fun!) month yet!
Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out my one month and two month summaries!
THREE MONTHS IN PRAGUE: BY THE NUMBERS
ONE pumpkin-like gourd purchased for the autumn spirit!
TWO DAYS in South Moravia, or Czech wine country.
TOO MANY (probably) tasters of wine consumed in the Wine Cellar of the Czech Republic.
THREE glasses of the potent and delicious burčák, or young wine.
COUNTLESS leaves crunched while walking the lovely Stag Moat (thanks again, Tina!).
SIX HOUR dinner with new friends and co-workers tasting so many new Czech dishes.
27 HOURS spent in the fascinating city of Berlin for our visa interviews.
TEN FINGERS that have now touched a piece of what’s left of the Berlin Wall.
FIVE glorious days for Fall Break spent in the magical country of Austria.
FOUR delicious, decadent coffee drinks enjoyed in the atmospheric coffeehouses of Vienna.
MANY spoonfuls of pumpkin-kraut in Vienna devoured. If that doesn’t scream October in Europe, I don’t know what does!
TWO perfect (but cold!) nights spent with this view in one of my new favorite towns, Hallstatt.
^^yes, that’s a swan. unreal!
ONE HOUR spent on top of the Alps.
ONE SCENE from The Sound of Music re-enacted in Salzburg.
MANY grand boulevards, tiny alleys, and beautiful European streets traversed as we’ve explored so much this month!
FIRST holiday as an expat on the books: Halloween! A very low-key holiday spent with pumpkin cookies (homemade though, which is HUGE), my bat earrings, Hocus Pocus, Harry Potter & as much Halloween candy as we could scrounge up. Plus, I taught “trick-or-treat!” to approximately 40 kids, had them draw pictures of their ideal costumes (and act them out), and passed out candy. Basically, Halloween should give me some extra cash for all of the PR I did for it that day!
What’s been going on with you this month?
