Despite having no voice and feeling under the weather, it's been a very exciting week.
On Thursday Carissa and I went to a ball at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna! It was amazing! The ball was for the Technische Universität in Vienna but the public could also buy tickets. We were lucky enough to get discount, and so Carissa and I played at being princesses for the evening.

| The main ball room with the live orchestra. At the start, the debutants and their partners opened the dancing, and then couples filed on to the floor to dance many different styles: waltz, samba, foxtrot... |

| Another ball room with a live band. There were many rooms playing different styles of music, for example traditional Austrian folk, salsa and jazz. |
We had an amazing time, and Carissa got the chance to learn to waltz as well. The Austrian ball season is such a huge part of the culture here, so for us to have the chance to go to a ball, and in the Hofburg palace, I feel really lucky!
I'm now looking forward to my friend Bex from home coming to visit this week. We have some exciting stuff planned which I'll tell you all about next week.
Thanks for reading!
