I am getting very excited for Christmas and it's only October.  My friend Robyn who is also on a Fulbright fellowship and I are going to Vienna.  I feel really lucky to have an American friend who is also in Europe.  She is living in Budepest this year and is teaching English as well.

So the plan is to meet in Budepest--well, I'll meet her in Budepest and then we'll take the train to Vienna.  We'll stay for four or five days
