Update from Vienna

But that's not such bad news because ... we are in Vienna! The pouring rain is giving us time to update Facebook and this blog, back up photos, and check e-mail, all for the low, low price of €2.50 per hour. Really, that is very low for an Internet cafe.

Here is another of the soon-to-be-famous bullet lists of our adventures:

    Turned around when a waitress at an outdoor cafe said (in German), "Americans! Is this your knife?"
    Rented bikes in Passau before listening to a concert in a cathedral with the world's largest pipe organ.
    Biked for four days from Passau to Pöchlarn before the pouring rain started. Had a minor rain shower on a previous day.
    Got a little bit too much sun for our fair complexions. We are redheads, after all.
    Found Gummi Smurfs and many other gummis, including gummi fried eggs. Did not sample the latter.
    Spent four hours in Munich. Fell in love with the city, will definitely go back for several days to a week.
    Jami tried on a traditional Bavarian dress. See the photo in the album linked below, or click on the photo in this post to go to the album.
    Jami took a European cologne bath.
    Went to the Hofbrauhaus and had a liter of beer. You'd be surprised how fast that stuff goes down.
    Heard a ton of songs in English. Right now "Goldeneye," from the Bond movie of the same name, is playing in the Net cafe.

  1. You Found Habrio Gummi bears? They are the bomb.

    I miss Munich much. Hoping to get the better half overseas very soon.
