Burg Neuberg

Yesterday for our Art History class, we went to an old Baroque castle called Burg Neuberg. We had a  tour guide who took us through the castle telling us the stories behind the beautiful architecture and stained glass windows. At the end of our tour, we went into a room with a high ceiling covered in frescos. The acoustics in there were amazing so our favorite Austrian teacher, Professor Kröll, suggested that we sing some songs. We thought it was weird at first, but we decided to sing some church hymns. We sang Come Thou Font, The Spirit of God, and Nearer My God to Thee, which are some of my favorites. As we sung those hymns chills went up and down my spine. The power of music is amazing.

Vienna Waits For You

I finally made it to Vienna today. It is the first time that I have had down time to even glance at my computer. I have lots of pictures to show from traveling around England, Denmark, Sweden, and Italy, but I will get to playing catch-up later. For now, here is a song that I have been listening to since January. This song was my life to a 'T' just a few months ago. I think I cried almost every time I heard it. It is crazy to me that I am finally here in Vienna about to begin another huge adventure in my life.

That's it for now. I will post more pictures soon. I promise.
