Who would’ve thought that little white boiled sausage would be so good?

We just got back from dinner out, at some place downtown. It was a nice little bierhof, with some good beer and trad food. I had two little white sauages, boiled and white, very mild but with a delicious mustard. Yummmm! And a nice weissbeer to go with it.

Vienna gets even more beautiful at night, if that’s possible. Everything’s lit up, lots of people are out…awesome. We even stopped on the way home for some ice cream; there were crowds of people there, so we figured when in Vienna…and we were right. Nellie didn’t like her vanilla much, but the GIL and I loved our chocolate. Again…yummmmmm.

Oh, and I forgot one of the best parts of today: before we saw the Belvedere we walked through a square where the Russians left a huge statue in 1955 (when they officially relinquished control of the city) that read something like, “We shall return.” Aah! Can you imagine if a brutal occupying force left something like that behind? S’a little creepy, no? Anyway, the Austrians were too scared to tear it down so they built a giant fountain in front of it. I thought that was just…it was very…you just don’t see shit like that in Canada.

OK, gotta go pack and get some sleep. We leave for Budapest tomorrow morning.
