An Austrian Excursion

One of the great bonuses of living away from home, is that we meet a lot of other wonderful people who also come from somewhere else.  Some of our good, new friends generously invited us to their home outside of Vienna, Austria.  We spent a wonderful weekend with them in late August.  They took us on a tour along the Danube, through vineyards and medieval castles where we enjoyed exquisite, local wine and delicious, locally grown food.  They walked us through the streets of Vienna and introduced us to pastry, more wine and marrow soup.  They showed us the Hapsburg Dynasty's grand summer getaway and the more than 100 year old amusement park in the heart of Vienna.
