Mike lands in Austria

Mike accepted an offer in Austria to finish out the basketball season!

We have been living with Ben and Amanda in Northern France for about a month hoping Mike's agent would find him a job. Every once in awhile there would be talks of a possibility in a small France league, a Poland team and even Austria. But nothing 100% for certain. We were most recently in the mindset that we would have to head back to the states because our deadline was coming up quick.

And wouldn't you know it, we were planning on booking a flight home on Monday(yesterday) and this last Sunday Mike accepts an offer to play in Austria.

So he left by train yesterday from Calais to the Paris airport, then boarded an airplane to Vienna, Austria. He arrived late last night where he was greeted by his new coach. It took a little over an hour drive from Vienna to Kapfenberg, Austria. He will be joining the Kapfenberg Bulls Basketball team.

Currently, I am still in Gravelines while Mike settles in. I am looking at flights to join him soon!
