July 8th, 9:50pm - The Heim in Graz, Austria
Let's start with this:
Schlossberg Castle
As I write tonight, I have just returned home from climbing the Schlossberg, and wow, was it amazing. While it was quite a hike the payoff at the stopping points and the views from the highest points of the castle were incredible. I took tons of pictures from all places and at all angles but I'll have to wait until I come home to post them. I was not planning on climbing the Schlossberg today, but I did!
Let's back up a bit. Today we were assigned out private teachers and vocal coaches! I am lucky to have gotten my number one picks for both and I cannot wait to start our lessons and coachings. An added bonus at AIMS is that I have the opportunity to go to any coach or teacher here this summer and ask for extra lessons and coachings. I plan to ask most, if not all, the teachers here for at least one lesson or coaching session as I want to learn and absorb as much as I can.
After meeting our teachers and finalizing our schedules for the next five weeks, we Western Crew headed to a restaurant for dinner. I had what I liked to call "German Mac n' Cheese" - shpetzel noodles in cheese sauce with whatever toppings you'd like. Like everything else to eat here in Austria, it was delicious. It was after dinner when we were walking back to the Heim that a group of us suddenly decided to climb the Schlossberg. It was getting cooler and the sun was just beginning to set, so we decided it would be a perfect time to climb it, especially since I had never done it before. So we left the Heim, grabbed some Gelato (because why not) and climbed up the Schlossberg. It was beautiful.
And now we are where we began. I have just returned home from climbing the Schlossberg, and wow, was it amazing.
