I'll answer the questions from Rene's comment first I guess. Yes, I have lost weight while here, but I am eating plenty and drinking plenty as well. The lifestyle is a lot more active, I don't have a car, the food seems to be more natural, and I have also had a lot more time to cook for myself. I needed to lose weight anyway! Johanna is a musicology student at the University in Würzburg. I met her a couple years ago on Dr. Heidlberger's trip, as did the others on his trips, and we have kept in touch and visited a few times since then. We both share a common interest in not doing touristy type things and drinking cocktails!
This weekend I am planning on going to at least part of the Donauinselfest, a huge weekend festival on the Donau Insel in Vienna. The Donau Insel is an island about 20km long in the Danube and is a huge recreational are for the city. It's pretty much a huge park that also has night clubs, bars, and restaurants as well. More than
300 groups will be playing on the various stages throughout the weekend, and there are also going to be fireworks. You can see where it's located on the map and get an idea of what the island is like from the picture (not mine).

Good luck in your trip to the island!
Hey...I thought you were studying for your Doctoral over there? Nahhhh! Looks like you are having a blast for the oldest US college student in Vienna. (I just have to harass you as I sit here working on my computer!)
