After a quick trip to the grocery store to ward off starvation, the GIL (girlfriend in law) arrived on the scene. We were unsuccessful in our attempts to find what seemed the nearest restaurant recommended by our guidebook, but down an alley we did happen to spy a beisl that was itself recommended. It was a good dinner: lots of traditional Austrian fare, wine, laughter (mostly about Cambio the change weasel) and a chance for the GIL to show off her German skills. I’m glad she’s here; it’s a helpless feeling not speaking the language.

On the way home we stopped to take pictures of a church. They light the churches up at night, so it’s an ideal photo op, and Nellie snapped a few of the spire she’d gotten earlier in the day, just for contrast. The innere stadt of this city is just beautiful.

I got up early this morning to go take a picture of another church, but now I’m more inclined to go tonight after it’s lit up. And hopefully by then the rain will stop; it’s still pissing down out there right now, dangit.
