First I would like to say that what happened in Paris yesterday was horrible. It's so scary to think that things like this are happening because there is a group of people who are against something as simple as a religion or racial affiliation. Just sad.
Today we took a trip to Lienz, AUS, with the group names Entree. They are ones in charge of all the international students :) They planned this little day trip for us at a low cost, and it was pretty fun! We took a train to the town, and when we got there we made our way to the little market. We then had about two hours before we all had to meet up for lunch. We went through the shops and grabbed some glüwein :)
When we met up for lunch, they took us to a cool pizza place. We there for about 1 1/2 and then headed to our next destination. We got to take a tour through the famous church for them. It was filled with paintings and very pretty decorations on the alters. There were even a few tombs we could see. We then walked through a few cemeteries. Some of the dates on the plaques were as old as 1914 and others were as recent as 2015. It was pretty amazing to see how they took care of their dead compared to how we do it back in the states.
Lastly they planned a little coffee and cake stop for us before we needed to hop back on the train. The majority of us had coffee and apple strudel :)
I think one of the most fun thing I will remember from this trip is the group of friends that we were with! There was the three American girls, one from England, and two more from Ireland :) This little crew that we put together is just a hoot ;)
