Coffee love!

This is a completely irrelevant blog post all about my love for coffee and how it's made me feel welcome in Vienna.  :)

First, there's the coffee-flavored yogurt at Hofer - a rare find there and, quite possibly, a new, favorite addiction of mine! 


 Then there is my army of creamy deliciousness sitting in my fridge.  (There are veggies, too, but you can't see them in this photo!)
These lovely macchiatos have been an addiction since Week 1 of being here, mainly because they're a fraction of the price of the Starbucks drinks I'd bought to drink and decorate my apartment.



Some recently - discovered goodness!
The chocolate cappuccino tastes wonderfully like hot cocoa!  Sadly, it also has no caffeine jolt like I was expecting, so it may very well be just hot cocoa.  :-P
The Viennese iced coffee carton tastes more like dessert in a glass than caffeine, too.
As long as they taste great, I'm happy, and I'll share them with any future visitors.  
*ahem ahem*
:)



Finally, can napkins get any more fun than these?
(The answer is "no".)
I bought these on one of my really rough days last week, and they were a pick-me-up.
The little things in life make me happy, especially when they involve coffee!




On an unrelated note, I bought these 4 packaged ice cream cones at Hofer yesterday.  (???)  Has anyone else ever seen this before?  I have a feeling they involve a heavy dosage of marshmallows, and since I'm not a marshmallow fan (except for in cocoa and in Rice Krispie treats), I'll bring them to my Ladies' Bible Study in a few hours.

Medieval fun!

Last Saturday, I went with several other teachers and staff to a place outside Vienna called Eggenberg.  All weeklong, we'd received information about this trip, andwe'd been told we'd be going to the Eggenberg Castle.  However, we did not; we went to a Renaissance festival instead!

I took a ton of photos and don't have time to write commentary for them, so, sorry!  I hope you can enjoy them, anyways!  :)
