The goal is to live in a small Austrian village with my Austrian wife and our 4 yr old while learning everything about this beautiful corner of the world. We will live on the second floor of my in-law's house in a two bedroom apartment while skipping around in flowery fields like the one on "The Sound of Music". Well, maybe not the skipping part:)



The village is called Windischgarsten. Located in the lower half of Upper Austria, it is an amazingly beautiful area of the Alps known for skiing, hiking and biking. I don't have any local friends, I haven't learned the language, and I have no idea where I'll work. This could get really interesting. No problem right?

When the Cows Come Home







Hi all.
Not much to talk about today except the Almfest. It's a once-a-year festival up the road from us that celebrates the movement of..... cows. Ha ha, yeah, cows. They come down to the farms from the high country once mid season.

It's worth celebrating.

The locals, some sporting lederhosen (not me this time), meet at a farm to eat schnitzel and drink Radler, Most, and of course....Beer. Between all the beer and coffee around here I'm sure going pee a lot.
