reading lähtevät signs
Long day on Sunday.
I started my afternoon by “reading lähtevät signs” in the Helsinki airport, flying to Vienna, taking trains, buses, and finally a taxi until I arrived at Hotel Kreiner. There are always people that speak English but yesterday there seemed to be fewer than usual. This proved a little challenging since, because of track construction, the train did not go all the way to Hütteldorf and i had to try to figure out the bus system. The unexpected extra steps in transportation were not terribly difficult, it just adds a little extra challenge when you don’t speak the language.
Since there was no Internet at the hotel last night I took the opportunity to go to the restaurant across the street and watch the last set of the Wimbledon match. I think the Austrians were pulling for Federer to win and it was a epic ending to the match.
Last night was another great night for sleep. Perhaps being on the road for three weeks can actually make a person tired…. 
Today I am off to do a little work with Michael at the IUFRO Headquarters. More soon! (Providing I have access to the Internet.)
