Vienna 2008
Best Gulaschuppe in the world, there.
From Reader Abroad Scott W.:
New England guy here (Live Free or Die) who’s been reading you for… let’s not look back too far, ahem. Anyway, this isn’t about all that — here I am in Vienna and I think I have you to thank.
You’ve written about many things, but what you’ve had to say about traveling, about your travels has always been encouraging. Not in a travelogue way, but just in a plain ol’ “there’s a lot of map out there, let’s get to it” way. Likely that’s just my interpretation but it is what it is. So when the conversation came up of “where to go for a vacation,” SWMBO and I had a short list and my recollections of your recollections made me press hard for Vienna.
And here we are.
Is it magical? No, not really. It’s a modern city. Is it perfect? Heck no. But is it wonderful? Why, yes, yes it is. I’m looking at the Danube and journaling about these Vienna Days. That’s how it’s on our calendar, and that’s how I’ll remember it.
Anyway, thank you.
Scott
Then the bastard good man had the temerity to send me these pics of his visit to the Hotel Sacher for his Brauner, Apfelstrudel und Sachertorte:
I am SO jealous…
