I got back to Sofia late last night in a snowstorm and was greeted by the coldest weather yet this winter in Sofia. <em>Welcome home? </em>

<em></em>At least I've got these photos (and more) to remind me of the weekend in Vienna. A weekend that I spent outside in Vienna wandering from Christmas market to market, sampling mulled wine and punch, eating noddles, bread-products and potatoes of all sorts, and spending plenty of Euro in the process. The whole thing was great fun.

Anyhow, it was nearly as cold in Vienna this past weekend as is now is in Sofia so I guess I wont worry about it too much. Frankly, I don't have any plans to  spend my whole day outside at Christmas markets shopping and drinking mulled wine this week in Sofia so I'll be okay.

Nope, my plans are pretty boring and they include teaching and grading. Oh my, I have a lot to grade, grade, grade. I might do some laundry and I must go to the grocery store.

Oh and tdhings will get busy at the end of the week with our school Christmas party. Good thing I bought my Secret Santa gift in Vienna this weekend!!

I can't believe it's nearly the middle of December already. I've got to put up my Christmas tree and get serious about baking Christmas cookies.

More on Vienna later!!
