!!!New Blog!!!

Hi there,

Since I am no longer in Europe, this blog is for at least three years inactive. I started a new blog for those left in Europe (in German) about how life in Canada is treating me. Check it out at http://evagoeschicago.blogspot.com

See you there!!

... and then there was Rome

The company trip to Rome was the last of my fall trips this year. Came around quite a bit this fall: Mallorca, Munich, and Rome. Three places as different as can be. Attached are some impressions of my weekend in Rome in October 2008....

A look on ancient Rome

Oktoberfest 2008

On October 1st I went to the Oktoberfest in Munich with some collegues from work. A whole day in beer-tents turned out to be a whole lot of fun and also extremely exhausting! But it was definitely worth it again. Am certainly looking forward to next year!

This is the beer tent where we spent the whole day, called "The sky of the Bavarians"

My biggest Oktoberfest suprise: Running into my old friend Mario

Blog Relaunch - And Holiday in Mallorca

Finally, after thinking it over and over again, I have decided to relaunch my blog. Hopefully I'll find time again to post pictures and news in the future.
I'll restart the blog with a few impressions from my holiday with friends in Mallorca. We went there two weeks ago for one week. Apart from a great nightlife in S'Arenal we managed to visit other parts of the island of Mallorca by car. There we discovered the magnificent coast of Mallorca, unexpectedly high mountains and quiet and beautiful beaches.

Having fun at Minigolf
Of course I couldn't resist a quick soccer match...

Happy New Year!!

I am back home from Canada! Spent some wonderful last days with friends and family. The twelve days in Canada finally turned out to be way too short!!

Back in Austria, we celebrated Clemens' Birthday in Vienna and New Years Eve with our group of friends. And today was my first day back in the office after the vacation. It's tough to return to the working routine..... :)

Merry Christmas!

On the Way Home...
