View from Vienna
















Today we spent the day in Vienna....such a big city! We visited an outdoor market with every possible food. The veggies and fruits were outstanding. We ended up eating at a little cafe there. I had a delicious fish dish while Robin and Paula tackled these huge sandwiches called Falafels. I think maybe some of the rest of the group had those as well.
From there we toured the Vienna Opera House....a beautiful place...very old. Unfortunately, the English speaking tour guide we had was very difficult to understand!
We checked out Swarvoski Crystal Store and a couple of other shops before heading back to the mall on the bus. It was much cooler there. We had some more of the fabulous ice cream and shopped until time to head back to Haus Edelweiss just in time for dinner....very, very tired.
I learned today that the greeting that Austrians use is Gruss Gott which means God's greeting which I love!
