May 14 - Vienna






It was almost a complete washout. Much of our morning tour was in the bus, but as you can see, we did venture out a bit. Towards noon the rain did taper off. We didn't appreciate, therefore, the beauty this famous city. Postcards will have to supplement my photography.

What we would call a "farmers' market" was overwhelming. The produce was plentiful and beautiful to look at. The strawberries were so perfect that they looked fake, but they weren't.

Since were in Vienna for 24 hours, we had a chance to attend a concert of the Vienna Residenz Orchestra -- all wonderfully Mozart, of course. We had to get over our chuckles, however, when the musicians walked on stage all dressed in 18th century costumes. They weren't joking, they just "worship" Mozart that much!
