Weather (about the site)
It is a sunny, warm spring day here in Austria. For lunch, I had what is known here as a wood fired oven baked baguette, some soft spread cheese with garlic which I ate by tearing off parts of the baguette and scooping it out of the little container, and a bottle of some sort of fruit juice.
Then I went back to the office, and set up this new weblog all by myself in about two minutes. Arriving at a final design, I'm thinking, will take longer.
As will discovering what it's all about. I'm an American, I left the US more than twenty years ago. I'd planned to visit an Austrian friend for a month, met a woman and stayed. That's my story, in its shortest form.
Every expatriate, every emigrant has a different story and different experiences. My hope for this weblog is simply to present them. Mundane images and slices of life are just as welcome and desired as long, thoughtful analysis.
Actually, I'd prefer the former. It is only a weblog, after all, and I'm allergic to pundits.
Welcome to Lost in Transit.
