So the time passed as if it were a dream. It seems almost as if we just flew in to Vienna, but now we return to the States. It has been an amazing adventure. Many high spots, many low, much excitement and viele boredom for some. We fly out on Thursday and we tried to squeeze in a couple of last adventures. We went on a five mile hike in the Vienna Woods. It mostly was a little too much like a desperate act to do a few things that we hadn't done yet. As a result it wasn't really the adventure we had hoped. It was really too hot and too hurried.
Sunday we said goodbye to the ward. Lori said goodbye to her primary class, Emily to her friends and Nathan to his. They said goodbye to me too, but they will be missed!
But that one thing we had to do was ride the Riesenrad, the Giant Farris Wheel made famous in the classic film the Third Man.
Nathan was just happy to be there:
Lori tired to bravely face our last adventure:
And Emily's ready to come home:
And so we will see you soon! Just some parting shots.
Here is the View from the Riesenrad:
Auf Weidersehen! Und Bis Bald Alles.
