Sommer im Burgenland

I've been staying with my host family from when I was on exchange in Burgenland, Austria for the past week. It's been lovely and hot and this evening Lauren and I walked through the forest and medows and picked blackberries.

To Erfurt, to Erfurt, Jiggity Jog

This is a postcard I was sent by Uta Rühlow from Erfurt, Germany. From September I will be teaching English at the Staatliches Pierre-de-Coubertin Gymnasium, Spezialschule für Sport (I think only the German version works at the moment). It is a high school that specialises in sports. They have an ice-skating rink! Erfurt is a small but apparently pretty city with lots of old buildings and a nice forest.
