Isn't life wonderful? The last month has been so full of the making of magnificent memories. I am so grateful for the people who have come into my life in Europe. A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to reconnect with one of my Hungary exchange friends. Jessica is a Canadian with whom I've been in contact for the last 5 years since we left. She and her Norwegian boyfriend came to Vienna, and we spent a lovely couple days in the beautiful weather.

That weekend was also the Donauinselfest (Danube Island Festival), the annual free music festival on the Danube Island in Vienna. I was SO excited to learn that James Morrison would be playing--I had planned on going to his concert in Vienna last March, but plans fell through. This was even better! Under the beautiful Viennese sky, surrounded by friends and the Danube, and good, good music.

Unfortunately, the goodbyes got more concentrated right around then. The good news in this is that we were all more intentional about spending good time with one another. Those last few weeks in Vienna were so full, and so good. We had our YAG-led church service, YAG dinners and ice cream together, meals from the Naschmarkt, walks on the Danube, my Hollabrunn family threw my a goodbye BBQ, and I got to spend my last couple days with my best friend.
