Lunar Eclipse - Veterinary School

So over this past weekend, Eva and I decided to take a tour of Vienna on the ''Red Bus City Tours''. I remember reading an article back in the US which said all people should take a tour of their own city...youd be supprised at how much you learn! This tour was luckilyvery inexpensive, only 14 euros per person for 1.5 hours. Thats very cheap for a tourist bus. It started raining, so the driver had to raise the roof covers so we wouldnt get wet, but after about a half hour the weather cleared up. Their were on and off rain showers all day, but it was nice none the less. We also stopped at the butterfly house, but it was so humid and hot in their we only stayed for about 10 minutes!






A couple nights ago, Eva and Leon jumped up in the early hours of the moring because a giant insect had made its way into their sleeping area! Both were histerical, I figured I didnt have to get out of bed, after all, its just a harmless insect. Thats when eva cried out...''AAAAHHHH, theirs a deadly animal in our room! Stay away, dont let it sting you'' Her and Leon went into te other room to sleep, and wen I came over, becasue i didnt want to be stung, she yelled at me to get out and go into the other room (the one with the dangerouse stinging animal)! It very comforting to know that my mother and brother go into the ''Safe'' room, and when I try to go inside, im shoo´ed away! Apparently she doesnt give a shit if im stung or not. few minutes later, She resorted to catching it and trowing it out the window. I thought it had been a hornet of something of that nature...an animale that really chases its prey...maybe a wasp. But no, it was neither of these. I later found out that it was a little bumblebee that had curled up in the corner of the room trying to escape. Eva sure is a Drama Queen!

So, Eva and I visit a floural shop. I hadnt had water all morning, and I was getting quite dehydrated, after all, it is summer at the moment. So, Eva gets a call from her boyfriend of one year, Gerd. Whenever she talks with him, i always last a very long time. I dont dare interrupt because if I do, she gets very agressive and either yells at me to mind my own buisiness, or hits me...and yes, her slaps do hurt! So Im sitting their, slowley loosing my water supply, as she blabbs away on the telephone. Eventually, I asked the flourist if she had water that I could have. She nodded, went into the back, and brought me a big glass of cold water! I took a big gulp, and to my unexpected surprise, it tasted strangley like plants! I looked at the glass which looks suspiciously like a vase. Lets just say, I dont plan on asking a flourist for water in the near future!

On June 15th, Leon, Eva, and myself went up to kahlenberg by tis old castle...or armory...im not quite sure what is was, anyway, we went up their to looks at te Solar Eclipse! Its the longest one since 11 years, and it was a total lunar eclipse where the entire moon is dark\red. We went to the observitory area, which overlooked Vienna. Many people were their enjoying the big red full moon! It was a spectacular sight to see. It was dim but still visibale. People in northern europe such as germany didnt see it at all due to cloud coverage! I consider myself lucky to have seen it, after all, hd I been in America I would not have seen it either ecause it was not visibale on that side of the Earth. The moon is red by the way because the light from the sun bends and only the red rays reach the moon! Anyway, Hopefully Ill be able to experiance the Solar Eclipse in America on August of 2017! Thats even cooler than a Lunar Eclipse!







The only pictures of the moon that came out is when the light started being visibale again, but you can see that most of it is still red and only the side is lighted up.

A neighbor of ours, who comes from serbia I think, was outside talking to us a few days back. He sees an African woman walking past with her child. He turns to me and says, ''The sun sure is strong in Austria this year!''

So as you all Know, I was accepted to Veterinary School in Budapest, Hungarey. When we first drove into the city, we passed the train station to see a homeless man shitting infront of it. It was a very warm welcome indeed! Hopefully Ill get into the medical Program In slovakia! WISH ME LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

P.S. Libra, I finished the story on the post entitles ''The Opposite of My Wii Age'' Its the very last one on that post. (I may have already finished it in another post, but if not here it is again)

  1. Hi Sassi,
    Congratulations on vet school admission. Maybe you should go back to Budapest while Freya is there and have another look. I doubt you'd encounter outdoor human defecation on a regular basis, at least I hope not. So, don't let your first impression turn you completely negative. It's quite an accomplishment to be admitted, and there are plenty of clients waiting for you back here in the USA.
    We had a very sad day here yesterday. Adam's cat Zarley has been treating for a heart problem for nearly a year. A vet heart specialist recommended open heart surgery and Adam and Jill decided they would go for it. They've been prepping him with special medication for a month or so, and the operation was yesterday. Unfortunately, he died. It was very sad, and I'm angry at the vet hospital for recommending this risky procedure with so little chance of success. It cost thousands of dollars and now poor Zarley is buried in my back yard between Buttons and Sandy.
    I like the photos you posted this time, especially the interior cathedral shot - like a rainbow. Mom saw a lunar eclipse at Cape Charles in March, but as you said the one last week was not visible in this part of the world. We're all going down to Cape Charles again in August, it should be fun.
    Well, I do wish you good luck for the school in Serbia, if that's your preference. I'm glad you'll get to see Freya, even though it's a sad occasion which will bring her to Vienna. Try to discuss your options with her so you have another opinion before you make a final decision. And - keep posting....... Love you, Libra
