Just popping in from the lobby of our hotel in Vienna for a quick hello. We've only been here six hours and already have had so much to do.
- Went to a great little pasta/wine bar that's so good at what it does that they audaciously only serve two dishes each day: one vegetarian, one not. All their pasta is made on-site.
- There is music everywhere here. When we arrived, a string quartet was busking in the main square. I could hear "My Heart Will Go On" as we made our way to the hotel. After dinner, we enjoyed an Italian street band that sounded a bit like Devotchka. They employed everything: multiple accordions, a violin, mandolin, ukelele, banjo, even a saw.
- We're right down near the center of the ring, so everything is a whirl of activity around us. Open-air restaurant seating is everywhere and the many horse-drawn carriages go right past our front door.
Looking forward to our 4-day stay here.
P.S. This German keyboard is going to be the death of my typing skills. I'll have to take a picture.

Sounds absolutely wonderful! Keep posting when you can.
Obviously have not had much time to update, but there are many things worth posting about when we return. Wien (Vienna) has definitely fast become one of our favorite cities.
We're now in Munich... heading out to the aforementioned Neuschwanstein tomorrow.
