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?

Back in the Saddle

Photobucket

Hi everyone. I just wanted to thank all of you for your well wishes. As some of you know, I had knee surgery on Sept 28th. Both the articular cartilage and the lateral meniscus were bad. The doc had to fracture a bone so the cartilage would get fresh blood. Boy, that felt good! Still does. Anyway, the surgery was free of complications, and free of payment too - compliments of the amazing Austrian health care system.

Physical therapy is slow but ongoing. I can even cycle and hike slowly now. No problem there. I can't think of a better place for that type of recovery.

Take Care - Gabe
