Getting Settled

We are trying to find our grove as we settle into our new country with trips to parks, IKEA and golf courses.

We live near Türkenschanzpark.  The park opened in about 1888 with ponds, streams and fountains.  We walk by monuments to people like the poet Adalbert Stifter and the composers Franz Marschner and Emmerich Kálmán. The Yunus Emre fountain which was donated by the Turkish ambassador as a sign of Austro-Turkish friendship, sits in the parks front corner.

We discovered a great gelato place in the middle.

Our sponsors were kind enough to take us to IKEA to start our getting settled process.  We wanted an outdoor set for our large porch.

The kids are making friends and inviting them up for games and pizza

And Dave found a beautiful golf course to join.
