No Sausages, Just Vienna

I've been meaning to post some sort of feed that will make updates obvious to my small circle of readers. But I've been far too busy for that of late. Still, it will happen eventually.

I'm in the conference hall right now, between demos. I've just had a sandwich and I'm waiting to go on again in about 45 minutes. Vienna, what little I have seen, is lovely. I am really starting to look forward to having Friday and Saturday to look about. Kim and I have booked a much cheaper hotel for these two nights and I'm relieved to know I won't be spending a fortune on accomodations.

I know for sure that I must see some of Gustav Klimt's work in person and I am also looking forward to just sitting in one of the many cafe's and enjoying the people watching. It is day 11 of working and I'm doing fine. Had a great Chinese meal last night! Before that it was Mexican! Before that we went to a Viennese tourist trap type place with classic Austrian accents and such. I tried the venison with cherries and gnocchi - delish! The Viener Schnitzel is not so good in this city, despite the name.

I will say the food here has been pretty great over all. It's a very cosmopolitan city.
