Hey all! Today was a very eventful day. We had the pleasure of having another guest speaker in my Political Ideologies class. She was amazing. She talked about Fascism and communism and how it affected her life and how it affected many different countries. In my Art History class we went on a tour of the Karlstein Castle. Oh man it was something else. When we first arrived there, there was about a mile hike to the top where the castle was. Well we all decided to pitch in and take a carriage! It was so fun! When we finally got to the castle it started raining very hard and it was freezing out. We were not allowed to take pictures in the castle so all the ones are of us outside. The tour took about 2 hours when it should have only taken about seventy minutes. We almost missed our bus back home. The driver of the bus I swear drove like a 5 year old. I guess he was running late and the drive home was about an hour, so he decided to drive like a CRAZY man to try and make it on time. I think I got some pretty serious wip lash. He was seriously trying to kill us. Oh ha I finally did laundry today! Let me tell you how nice it is to have clean clothes! I am hoping that will last me until I come home. Oh all of you keep Ethan in your prayers. He is sick and could us the help hehe. Well I love you all but I need to get prayers and scripture reading done. Love you all with all my heart!!!!!!!! Sweet dreams my loves.
