While I try to wrap my head around the idea of going back to work, here is a little visual trip through what were some pretty amazing holidays, save for an unfortunate snowboarding accident that warranted an albeit fun but nonetheless bumpy ride down the Austrian mountainside in one of those blow up sleds and a trip in an ambulance on a seriously off kilter gurney.

Vienna (Wien) has to be one of the most interesting cities I’ve ever visited not only because this time around the city was nearly void of any life – so eary, but so enchanting – (except on New Years when everyone bought fireworks and set them off at the strike of midnight – nuts. Some kid lost two fingers,) but because it melds history, tradition and street culture in a mutually respectful way. I was kind of in awe.
