Big Changes

It sure has been a busy few days. Where to start? Well, a few days ago the pub caught fire. That was an interesting night. We lit the fire in the new fireplace to get the pub all toasty now that the cold has started to settle in. As it turns out, when they renovated the pub, they did it cheap and used combustable materials to build the wall around the fireplace. Soon there was smoke coming out of the walls as they were on fire. 7 fire trucks and 2 support vehicles showed up. Our roof is made of thatch, which is extremely flamable, so they wanted to be very careful. Luckily the damage was minor. The wall was burnt out, but the roof is in tact and no one was hurt. Mostly it was just a funny experience. I was impressed by how many guests thought enough to bring their drinks out into the cold with them. Oh those English!

The other big news is that I no longer live or work in England. I quit my job and am on the road again! Actually I am only on the road again for a little while. I was pretty sick of living in Weymouth, which is far too small for my liking. I thought, who do I know who lives in a big city in Europe? Wasnt there some Polish guy I used to live with in Warsaw or something? Indeed there was! I had already booked a trip to Vienna, so I decided that I would not come back and instead travel in Eastern Europe for a few weeks and then go live with Dzido in Warsaw. Thats right, we will have parted only for a month before we reunite. I have enough cash to live there for a little while and that is what I aim to do. So I have 5 days in Vienna and then who knows? I bought a Polish phrase book at the airport. I figure I need to know more than "tak" (yes) to get by.

This morning I spent some time at my favourite museum in the world: the Kunsthistoriche museum. It has a great collection of painting and is housed in a beautiful building. I could have spent all day there, and in fact did spend 4 hours looking at paintings. Weymouth has made me very culture-hungry. I have spent the rest of the day wandering Vienna, which has been a lot of fun. I really love this city. The buildings are all so impressive, it just makes you feel as though you are back in the 19th century and thinking "Wow, the Hapsburgs rock!"

So keep ckecking in for updates. I am doing exciting stuff again!
