Yesterday I waved goodbye to my dear friends Ryan and Noelle as they departed for their internship in Central Asia. Their next adventure started last night as they boarded a graffiti-covered sleeper train headed towards Istanbul Turkey. I can only imagine the adventures they are about to have.
It was really wonderful to have two close friends visit for an extended period of time. There's just something so comforting about being with friends who you can completely be yourself around. We had lots of long conversations, explored Vienna, enjoyed a large snowball fight and a campfire, and relaxed. There were a few unique changes in our friendship though. Noelle and I spent a considerable amount of time knitting, cooking, and cleaning together :) I thought that was a funny turn from how we were back on our Bethany Campus.
We also witnessed what Vienna is like during New Years Eve. It was definitely wild. Many people who had a bit too much to drink were shooting off heavy duty fire works all throughout the city. It sort of felt like a war zone.
Now, it's time to let life slide back into the way it was. I look forward to when my path will cross with the Peters' down the road.
