I played basket ball with the young men and some of the leaders. It was good. Katherine went out with Natalie Morgan and little Ezra, while Keith was playing at basketball with us men... and boys. They went to some huge market. I’m guessing they had a good time as Katherine filled up the day with “Stories From The Market.”
K:
The some big market that Natalie and I went to was a little place called Naschmarkt. Some of you may or may not of heard of it. Don't feel bad if you haven't, because I hadn't before reading The Books. It's famous here though. On Saturday mornings they have a flee market set up at one end of it, as well as the rest of the market that is open every day. It was a ton of fun actually. I didn't get to see much of the flee market today, but I certainly plan on coming back again. Eric is right, I did enjoy my time out. I enjoyed Natalie's company (and Ezra's too). It was nice to talk with Natalie. She's been here a little longer than I have, and it was nice to get her advice on a few things. It was so nice to talk with here that I forgot to take my camera out the whole time I was there. My firs time to Naschmarkt and I took no pictures. I was sad, but I will certainly take some next time I'm there. Stay tunned for them, because this place is incredible. I loved every minute of the squishy aisles, the smells, the colours, the different languages being spoken...It was just great. You'll certainly be hearing from me again about it. Hopefully soon.Update: I forgot to mention another thing as well. The ending of this day was sad. We really want eventually to go on the big ferris wheel in Vienna, called the Wiener Riesenrad. This night we went over to the amusement park, called Prater, where the wheel is, but we didn't actually make it on the wheel tonight. The park is actually just like an amusement park you'd think of, but there is no entrance fee. You just pay per ride and game, so it's almost like a permanent midway. It was lots of fun to walk around and watch all the people on the rides. We walked for quite a bit watching roller coasters, bungie jumpers, water rides and go kart races. It was fun. The weather was also gorgeous so I got really hot in my sweater I wore, thinking I would need it. After about 30 or 40 minutes of wandering around, I looked down at my side, where I had hung my sweater over my purse, and it wasn't there anymore. It was gone! This is my very favourite sweater that I own. It fits perfectly. It's a nice colour of dark green that looks great, or at least that I love. And it has light brown suede elbow patches. I love this sweater. So I was pretty frantic and upset. We retraced our steps a few times, and then finally reality sunk in. There's no way I'm going to find it. Eric tried to comfort me, but I was tired and upset and I couldn't help it, I cried. Just a few burning tears that snuck out while I was trying really hard not to. I know it's just a sweater you say, but it's my favourite one and I'd come to grow a little attached to it. We asked a few people and the information desk, but nothing. It's definitely gone.
Anyway, I apologize for the lack of pictures today, but after this experience I was just not in the mood. I was pretty upset. I'll get some of the wheel at least when we go back to check for it one last time on Monday.

Every
once in a while still, I'll go to get dressed in a certain outfit and
I'll be reminded of this dreadful night when I wore this sweater,
instead of a plain grey one that could easy have been replaced. I still
miss it sometimes, and I really need to replace it. Good thing elbow
patches seem to be in this season, or at least in Vienna!
