Traveling to Deutschland and España were a blast, but I was really looking forward to spending the upcoming week in Vienna. No matter how much time spent in, or how many times visiting, a city like Vienna, there is always something new to see! Today, we visited the Belvedere castle and House of Parliament, drove in and around the Ring, and had a delicious lunch of Käserinder sausages. I am a big big fan of street food in different countries, and it doesn’t get much better than this. Käsekrainer sausages have a very creamy cheese inside, that just seems to sort of ooze out when you bite into it. This is topped with shredded horse radish, and lethally spicy mustard. What could be better!

In the evening, we were invited to a barbecue at Babsi’s cousin Moni’s house. I hung out with her husband and we kicked back with some pretty darn good Austrian beer, while Babsi and Moni chatted indoors with a bottle of Prosecco. What came off the grill was spectacular. We had pork and beef kebabs and perfectly grilled lamb chops, as well as various salads – my favorite with artichokes, cucumbers, shitake mushrooms, onions and feta. We ate ourselves silly, killed a couple bottles of Pinot Blanc, and stayed up late chatting and eating ice cream out on the patio.
