July 2024 - Graeagle

Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Once returned from Europe, we hit the ground running with work. I went and set up my classroom and started learning new parts about my job.

Quando siamo tornati, eravamo sempre di corsa. Io sono andata a scuola per mettere tutto in ordine e ho cominciato il lavoro nuovo. 


We headed up to Graeagle for a weekend for Andy's grandfather's 95th birthday! We hadn't been up in a few years and it was so nice to see family and spend time there. We hope we can go back again soon! 
Siamo andati a Graeagle per un weekend per celebrare il 95 compleanno del nonno di Andy. Erano un paio d'anni che non andavamo su e ci siamo divertiti molto. Speriamo di tornare presto! 



Mill Pond swimming





We had time to spare as we headed back to the airport so we stopped by a creek and cooled off in the water. It was so relaxing. 
Avevamo tempo prima di tornare in aeroporto. Ci siamo fermati per strada per andare a nuotare nel fiume. 




July 2024 - Prague

Friday, July 5, 2024

After Vienna, we jumped on the train and headed to Prague. We stayed at the Dancing House Hotel and had one of the suites. It was cool, but weird to have so many people taking pictures of your hotel. 

Dopo Vienna, siamo andati a Praga. Siamo stati in un albergo che e' famoso per come' fatto. Era strano essendo in un posto dove tutti vengono per fare le foto. 


Prague's weather, albeit cloudy, was a welcome reprieve from the heat we had experienced in Venice and Vienna. We spent our days wandering around with no real agenda. It was lovely. We did make it up to the castle and toured that one morning. 
Il tempo a Praga era molto piu' fresco che non Vienna o Venezia. Abbiamo passato le giornate camminando ovunque. Una mattina, siamo andati al castello. 


We also went to the Petrin Observation tower which had beautiful 360 degree views of the city. Later that afternoon, we did a Beer Spa. It was such a fun and unique experience and I truly do recommend it if you are in Prague!
Siamo anche andati a la Petrin Observation tower che aveva una vista di tutta la citta'. Nel pomeriggio, siamo andati a la Beer Spa. Era un'esperienza unica e siamo stati molto contenti di esserci andati. 


June 2024 - Vienna

Tuesday, July 2, 2024

From Venice, we took the train to Vienna. The train ride was a welcome break in our travels to just sit and relax. The weather was great so we were able to see darling little villages along the way. 

Da Venezia, siamo andati in treno a Vienna. Abbiamo goduto il giro in treno perche' ci siamo riposati. C'era bello e siamo riusciti a vedere tanti paesi. 



We stayed at the Hotel Wandl which was right around the corner from St. Stephen's. The hotel and location were truly perfect and central to everything. We toured the Albertina museum which was lovely. We also ate lots of schnitzel!
Siamo stati a l'Hotel Wandl che era proprio in centro. L'albergo era perfetto e vicino a tutto. Siamo andati a l'Albertina per vedere un paio di mostre. E abbiamo mangiato tanto schnitzel!


We also toured Schonbrunn Palace which I loved. The grounds are so expansive and beautiful, we had a lovely time wandering around.
Siamo andati a Schonbrunn che era bellissimo! I giardini sono cosi' enormi ci siamo persi a camminare e vedere tutto. 


No trip to Vienna would be complete without Sacher torte, apple strudel, and more schnitzel! We went to Cafe Central for the sacher and strudel and it was delicious! On the recommendation of Andy's family, Figlmuller for schnitzel which was exceptional! 
Non si puo andare a Vienna e non mangiare la sacher o lo strudel. Siamo andati al Cafe Central per i dolci e poi Figlmuller per schnitzel.
