In preparation for our World Cup championship party, we spent this morning food shopping and running errands.
The afternoon, however, was spent discovering the seriously picturesque, hilly roads west and north of Vienna.
At the top of one of the larger hills, there was an observation tower, where we ascended the 187 steps which brought us above the tree line for a perfect view of the city.

Lunch was amazing! We happened upon a beer garden called Fischer Brau, where the food was absolutely terrific. I thought there was no way I could possibly finish my goulage and potatoes, but somehow made quick business of it, and managed to help Babsi with hers!

At the end of lunch, my belief was reiterated that no matter where in the world you go, there's always the chance of running into someone you know! As we were finishing, one of the waitresses hesitantly approached our table, with a kind of 'do i know you...' look on her face. Turns out, she used to be a friend of ours from school!

Tonight we did a little hangin out in Vienna! We went to Hermanns, which was fantastic, and just stayed out enjoying the evening.
