IN AUSTRIA!

And finally- I can happily announce that we have indeed made it safely to Austria! We got an early bus out of Venice and 4 hours later we were pulling into Klagenfurt. The university where I am teaching is in the town of Klagenfurt which is about 100,000 and is just beautiful- set on this wonderful alpine lake (the warmest alpine lake in Europe) called The Worthesees (pronounced Ver-the-seas). However, we are staying and renting an apartment in this wonderful little town just outside Klagenfurt and it is called Krumpendorf (like kroom-pin-dorf)- and it is also on this wonderful lake. I haven't had a chance to take too many pictures yet but this is the view from our apartment window. Last year I didn't even realize you could see the Alps from this building- but it turns out when you are on the second level, you can!
