Happy New Year everyone,
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was quite interesting, I went to my host grandmother's on my host dad's side for Christmas Eve, and to my host grandparent's on my host mom's side for Christmas day. The day after boxing day I went to the Voges mountain line in France with my host family. We went hiking for the first two days, and on the last day we went to visit this huge castle on top of one of the mountains.
After returning to Belgium for one day I was off again, to Austria this time. My trip over went very smoothly, I met up with my old austrian friend Pilgrim and his father in the Vienna International Airport. We drove for two and a half hours through the Austrian alps to Pilgrim's castle. Yes, he lives in a real castle. We went to this new year's eve celebration at the base of one of the ski resorts that night.
For the next three days we snowboarded. It was so good! Not just to snowboard, but even just to see copius amounts of snow again. After four days in the mountains, relaxing and sucking in austria, me and Pilgrim took a train to Vienna. We stayed in his flat for two nights, experiencing everything the city had to offer. I came home on the 6th of January and started up school again on the 7th.
Life is good now, school's more interesting, I understand the lectures in class and am doing well on tests. I've got some more trips coming up soon. I'm going to Paris in a few weeks, and snowboarding in the french and swiss alps on the first week of febuary. I miss you all and look forward to seeing you in the summer.
