THE {SWEETEST} HONIG

today was... {the sweetest}

today was so very beautiful. we're in austria, i've already told you why here, and we're in the cutest town, mentioned here, and my host parents wanted to get some fresh Honig (honey). oh my, i didn't know there were so many different types of honey! it makes sense, but i just never knew. they tasted so good. some sweet, some not so sweet, some creamy, some thick and heavy. overall, i tasted some of the richest honey i've ever had.

danke österreich :)

THE ROAD TO AUSTRIA

söll. it's a beautiful little village near Innsbruck surrounded by the most gorgeous mountains. we got here a little before noon. we woke up at 4 am morgin (4 am.). i'm tired. on a more serious note, not really, i'm freaking out - it's so gorgeous. the views are like things that you see in magazines and on tumblr but you don't actually expect to see in person. it's magical. it definitely makes up for the fact my brain wants to shut down. i have no idea how my host dad is still standing. he drove the whole way, seven hours. woke up at 4 am, stayed up late watching a soccer game. (it's actually really scary. he gets really annimated).

Oh, and did you know that the language spoken in Austria is German? Okay, maybe you did, but i had no ide. when someone says that they speak austrian they mean a dialect of German. You learn something new everyday, huh?

bis gleich

HERBS HOLIDAY ✽

( - i love the sound of crunching leaves beneath your feet - )

one thing that i can thank my incredibly confusing german school for is having an autumn holiday. as an american this is so strange, new and awesome for me and the only thing i can do is smile because it's amazingly awesome. today's the last day and i don't have school until the 22nd of this month. two weeks off. woot! woot!  i'm sorry, i had to. my host parents, because their awesome, are taking me with them to Austria! I get to cross another country off the list....but we're driving...tomorrow, and we live in düsseldorf, seven hours away by car. I'll tell you if i make it. hope your day is a great/confusing/+german?... as mine has been so far.

with love
