June 3, 2012


Today we woke up and met in the hotel lobby.  We were told that we were going on a 10 kilometer nature walk today, which equates to about 7 miles.  We took a couple of trains down to an enormous park and walked around for a couple of hours, probably not the whole 10 km.  While we were walking we were surrounded by a race of some sort, it was a bunch of women doing like a 10 k race.  After the walk we ate with about 10000 other people.  It was a big opening with food stands, a band, and a bunch of picnic tables.  A few of us went to an amusement park that we saw and we rode a swing ride that went about 100 feet in the air, we were able to get a great view of Vienna and the surrounding countryside.  The next ride was called the Black Mamba and it was one of the more intense roller coasters I have ever been on.  I unknowingly had my phone in my front pocket and when I got off the roller coaster I did not have it.  This coaster was so intense; my phone was probably 300 yards away shattered.  I called it using someone else’s phone and it went straight to voicemail, so it definitely fell out and is in a million pieces somewhere in Vienna.  Brady, Jack, Dave, Sumner, and I walked around some more and eventually went back to the hotel.  I relaxed a little today and went and got some dinner at the same schnitzel place from the first day.  I came back and got “Act of Valor” from Jack which was a very good movie.  I watched it and fell asleep early.  No pictures today because they were on my phone. Check back tomorrow.
