Alles Gute, zum Geburtstag!
Today I climbed the Mittagskogel with my neighbor, Martin for my birthday. It was probably one of the best birthdays I have ever had. I have seen this mountain ever since I came here and knew it was mine to summit. Well folks, my wish has come true. I made it to the summit cross this morning at 11:30 am, and saw a great cloud of fog instead of a view of Austria and Slovenia, but hey, I still had a little celebration on top with some champagne. :)

| An angry bird, who hated us for no reason. We even fed these birds some of our lunch! |

| On the way down, as you can see where the cloud cover lies. |
After the mountain, I returned to my host family in all smiles and a sore achille's tendon, and they made me a wonderful birthday dinner. I could have not asked for anything more on this day (other than seeing some real family--but that's what Skype is for!).

| One big happy family! |
Two weeks left in Austria... I don't know if I will be able to leave. :(
