Good Friends, Good Food, Good Times

After a day of touring we were treated to a traditional Austrian evening repast.

Having spent more than a week getting to know each other, this evening was a chance to solidify those friendships and to learn more about each other.

We were greeted with a violin and guitar duet. Our bellies were filled with soup, potatoes, kraut and various meats, topped off with a fine apple streudel. The young wine soon went to our heads.

Using the many vocal talents among us, our group soon filled the air with tradition and familiar songs from Canada, including Quebec, Ireland and even the Philippines.

Though the evening ended too early, the memories created will live with each of us for a long time.
