DAY #8 - VIENNA, AUSTRIA

JEN FOUND HER BAG . . . AND FINALLY HAS CLEAN CLOTHES . . . AFTER 7 DAYS!!!

Today we got to sleep in . . . I think that we are all getting used to this time zone, we are all enjoying our sleep and actually sleeping in!  We headed into the city to do some shopping and sight-seeing!  Some of us tried to rent Vespa's to go and check out the city! Bazz, Merc, Colette, Jess, Bug and Mr. Bug all set out on an adventure to find a Vespa . . . only to come up short! They were all rented out . . . when we caught up with the parents they were saying that they all prayed for us to be safe, and I guess they got their answer to their prayers = no scooters.  For any of  you who know Bazz and how she drives, that could have been a recipe for disaster!  Oh yeah, and some of us went to the Farmer's Market . . . lots of people, lots of different foods, mostly everything stuffed with cheese!  Also . . . I (Bug) was pick-pocketed by an old man with a cane . . . little did he know he just got a map, joke is on him!

Don't worry . . . we still have McD's . . . mostly we just use their bathroom, it's real nice, and free

After we shopped and did stuff in the city we headed off to the big soccer game, FK Austrian Wien vs Wacker Innsbruck.  It was a good game, we were cheering for the home team, the purple guys!  Here are a few of my observations from the game:  1.  Think we all smoked a pack of cigarettes through the second hand pack 2.  Jen said she had the best hotdog of her life 3.  The girls said the hotdogs tasted gross 4.  They cage in the opposing fans, literally fence them off from the other fans 4.  Some guy took a lot of creepy stalker pictures of our girls 5.  They light flares and smoke bombs a lot . . . not sure how they could breath with the cigarette smoke on top of the flares and smoke bombs!  We had a great time!

Finally, we all came back for dinner and a night on the town.  Some of us ate at really good pizza and pasta restaurant in an alley others of us ate delicious hotdogs! We also ran into this guy who was singing in the city  . . . he was so so good!  Carlee and Lindsi also met some models and took some pictures . . . and then we finished the night off with a little devotional from Lo Anderson about being nice to people, it was awesome!

This guy was AMAZING . . he was just singing in Vienna
