Alphorn Concert:

At the end of October I had the opportunity to go to a concert featuring one of the world's oldest instruments: the alp horn (or alpenhorn), as seen below, is what you might easily recognize from Ricola ads. We listened to French horn music (ranging from classical to the Beatles) and also a reconstruction to an instrument which Pythagoras supposedly invented. All this provided a fabulous time for our ears AND at the end, our eyes got a treat as well. We viewed a selection of wildlife photographs taken by 3 professional Austrian photographers.

Fall

October-November! Time for a quick update from the Zillingers! We've been enjoying Fall here. The weather's been great and we've been up to some great things!

In October there was a big lunch after the church service! Thomas and I brought an apple cake (that's what's behind the aluminum foil) and we really enjoyed connecting with some good friends of ours at church.

We enjoyed cake and coffee after the meal! These Austrians sure know how to make good food! Yum!

This is Anne, (former roomate, bridesmaid and good friend) me and Damaris (wonderful woman and pre-marital counselor!).

These a couple of pictures outside of our apartment, where we generally wait for the tram to take us into town.
