Well there is no way to hide it, I'm behind on my blog because I am currently posting about Easter.  Despite the delayed posting, I had a wonderful time and would like to share that with you!  Katharina had visited me in Vienna for four days and then on the same day she departed for Germany, I left for my roommate's home in upper Austria (Oberösterreich).

Beautiful Sunset on my way to Sabine's!
I arrived Saturday night and got to meet her family and enjoy some traditional Schnapps made by a neighbor in her village.
The next day we went to Easter Mass and Sabine played the doublebase while her mother sang in the choir.  After church the parish assistant welcomed the choir to some celebratory Schnapps in the building next to the church.  Sabine said this is a tradition he has done for a couple of years.

We had lunch at the Gasthaus where Sabine's brother and fiance will have their wedding reception in August!  

Walked around Friestadt :)


Sabine has a lovely family and if I lived with them my german would improve a lot! 


'Typical' Oberösterreich countryside 
Sabine's family lives in a small village outside of the town Friestadt.  She lives one house down from her grandparents and their farm.  We visited the farm and walked around their property.  It was beautiful and very refreshing to be in the countryside.

SLACKLINING!
Playing Skibo! With Sabine's sister and her sister's boyfriend.  The we went hot tubing! 

Goodbye Freistadt!
