Vienna

i realize now, as i upload my trip photos, that all i did in austria was eat and photograph food. in vienna, suz and i met up with two other college friends, and the first thing we did was go out for turkish food. a spinach and egg pide with an Ephes beer is maybe my favorite meal in europe. and then we went to a baklava shop and got an assortment to go. and the next day we had spinach börek on the street at the naschmarkt. and there was curried hummus and Mozartkugel and topfenstrudel and greek breakfast and so much black tea and so many cups of coffee. you could say i'm a sensualist, or maybe just a glutton.

sometimes we stopped eating...
on halloween we carved a KaiserFranzJoseph pumpkin and visited Falko's grave. celebrating american holidays abroad always promises a certain amount of hilarity, and this is one halloween i'll remember. i also visited the Hundertwasserhaus, watched an 80s chick flick about figure skating, and learned as much as i could of the very complicated viennese coffee lexicon (when in doubt, go with the Melange)

and then, finally, it was time for slovakia.
