My Last Night in Vienna...






Dear all,

I'll have to admit, I am feeling a little bittersweet right now. I am excited to get back to Gaming and to begin the work for Franciscan University, but I am very sad to be leaving the community that I've fallen in love with here in Vienna. 

What am I talking about? It's not like I live that far, but still, even the distance of a couple hours can put a strain on communication. But I told a lot of  you already, whatever free time I have it is for you all. The Lord called me to serve Him by serving you and I will be faithful to that... 

And to all those who are supposed to go to Salzburg and stop by in Gaming next week, you better be there *ahem Chicong*

So today was great. I woke up kinda early... went running around the lake and saw an very overweight man running in a speedo. I love Europe. I had another kaseleberkaesesemmel for breakfast (did I spell that right?). 

Then we went to the Happy Buddha in the city center for lunch. There I met with Rebby and her beautiful son, Colby. Cute cute kid... I posted some pics of the lunch and baby. Again they are interspersed throughout this blog, so disregard the order and what not.

After dinner we went to Stefansplatz where I played my first Mass in Europe. Wow. What a cool feeling. Thank you Lord for the opportunity. The choir sounded great! Good job all. After Mass, we had dinner at this place where they had good spareribs. Our waitress was a nice Bulgarian women. 

After a long and enjoyable dinner (Thank you Tito and Tita), Cay, Jun, and myself went to Rebby's house where they were playing poker. 5 Euro buy-in. I was out fairly late in the game. I'm not a good gambler... 

Anyways... so here I am, back in the Santayana's crib. I really will miss them and the community. Cay, make sure you get more sleep... Alright... it's time to hit the sack. Good night and God bless...
