here i am in austria typing on that strange euröpean kezboard.

austria is the most beautiful country i have travelled to - it is unspoiled, traditional, and very environmentally aware. karala and i have done quite a bit of walking and talking thru the beautiful fields nearby. its hard to get time at the computer as i am continually being wined and dined. they took me to a castle for dinner last night, and a medieval festival. Today i saw two different arty towns nearby and karala was in a film shoot this avo.
i spent yesterday with karala and the family that she nannies for, walking and sunbathing by a beautful lake, surrounded by mountains. the gardens here are incredible. tonight alex and karala are entertaining business contacts (a film photographer and a
theatrical designer, who is also making karala's wedding dress) and so i have just finished dinner and snuck into the office.

alex's dutch father Freddie is fit, sun bronzed, and gregarious. He works every night at their pub nearby in the village, anneleise looks after it in the day. she is a very kind, sweet woman. they are both keen gardeners, anneliese does the flower garden and freddie the vegetable garden (he has a glasshouse and a smokehouse for smoking fish).
