Day 18
Yesterday, I did absolutely nothing. It was great. I needed a day of rest from the sight seeing and all the walking I have been doing. I read the second Harry Potter book (in english). Although I have seen an Austrian copy, and the cover is different than the American and Canadian versions. Hungary uses the American version (well for the 2nd, 3 and 4th books).
I have been reading alot at night before bed, because there is no tv, and even if there was I wouldn't be able to watch it, it is all in German, although Lisa does get CNN, and the BBC. I have already read The Poisonwood Bible, and the first Harry Potter book. And people thought it was a bad idea for me to bring twelve books with me!
Helga still isn't back so I went grocery shopping by myself for the first time. It went allright, I bought blood-oranges to make fresh squeezed orange juice only to find there is no juicer.
Yes I realize blood oranges sound really gross, but is my new favourite thing (well that an a schnitzel sandwich (schnitzel semmel) from a place down the street from me.) The look like oranges, but when you slice them, some of the juice is red, so it looks like blood. They are more acidic then regular oranges, and kind of taste like a cross between grapefruit and oranges. The juice is a pinky red.
I also started looking into flights, it's like 25€ one way from Paris to Spain and Italy. very cool. It might even be return, but I doubt it. It's like 49€ to fly one way from Vienna to Paris, I think I may do that, rather than take the train, although I would love to veiw Switzerland and Germany by train.
