Except there is!

I went to Mass (thinking that a Saturday Mass would naturally be a Sunday Vigil. Haha- got that one wrong. I'll be waking up at 7 tomorrow for the real liturgy. Ah well, it's was a lingual experience.)

I saw the dolls come to dance at the "Glockenspiel" (I finally found it!) At 6pm the Glockenspiel plays and all the Church bells and Carillons play for about 10 minutes. It's like you can hear the angels in heaven. No wonder people eat so much ice cream here- it's like paradise!

I took a long walk with Natalie- along the Stadtpark and the River Mur.

Gelato: Weiss Truffel (white chocolate truffle. When I was little I loved white chocolate mousse at TCBY and I have now found my "grown up" equivelant.)

When I figure it out, I'll post the recording of my hearing. It's nearly the end of week one- I can't believe it! But this week starts coachings for voice and diction. I got both the teacher and coach that I requested so on Monday the real games begin.
