    Sep 28 - More pictures from Vienna

    September 28, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Each footprint can have only a maximum of 20 photos, so here are more pictures from this day in Vienna.

    We headed back out after our afternoon break, opting for a light dinner after snarfing down chocolate all afternoon. Our son, Patrick, calls us “The Grocery Store Gourmets” because of our propensity for eating from grocery stores when traveling! We found the ready-made section of the local grocery store and ate in the adjacent mall. Then we hit the streets again for more window-shopping. This time we found authentic Austrian wear. Fabulous. Oh yes, and Doug found chocolate gelato for dessert!

    The organ concert was most enjoyable. We were seated very near the organ console so we could see the organist playing the five upper registers with his hands and the lower registers with his feet. The sound in the cathedral was glorious.

    Time to call it a day. It's been another good one in Vienna. Step count - 23,000! That's over 10 miles - whew!
