Just To Make You Jealous

All I've been hearing from home this week is how warm it's been - 80s in St. Louis, 70s in Boston. I hate you all. It snowed here multiple times last week. Luckily, these pictures are from the week before, when it was sunny and gorgeous. So these pictures are to make you jealous that you're not in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, enjoying Austrian donuts with me.

Maija and I had a little picnic on the riverside
She's giving a thumbs-up to the couple making out behind her
Our picnic view
Part of our lunch. The picnic included painting our nails
Me
I was really excited about the gorgeous day
The dream team
This boat is part of a tour, and at the end it spins in circles and the (crazy) people APPLAUD. It made me sick just looking at it
Spinning...


Maija felt sick too
The view from the best coffee shop in all of Salzburg
The way up to Maija's
Still on the way to Maija's
And the view from Maija's window. I'm a little jealous, since my view is just of the hotel across the street (and on occasion, the people changing in the rooms)
Bio Fest! Salzburg had a fair for the organic farmers in the area
Maija and the menu, which was glued to the flower vase
Leslie and me
Maija and Leslie's roommate, Brendan
Gotta love festivals in Austria, where beer is always on the menu
The food: Knödelsuppe (dumpling soup). SO GOOD.
Eating our Austrian donuts. You could either get them slathered with marmalade or with sauerkraut. As appealing as they sound, we opted to not try the sauerkraut donuts
Oops!
Got jelly on myself


The random statue in the middle of Salzburg.
All of us at the festival
What would a festival be without an oompah band?
