This is the place I got diner last night and lunch a couple of days ago. My german is so bad that I think I ordered a dog sandwich instead of chicken. I pronounced huner as hunert... that must be why the guy that made my sandwich laughed.

A kiosk by the train station when I catch the tram in the mornings. Our president isn't very popular over here.

Yet another public transportation photo. I oughta do a whole series of these.

neonStreet.jpg

A street in the center of the city, I can't remember what the name is but if'n you really want to know I could tell you. I came here looking for a casino, more about that below.

More from my walk around the old city. Looking at this photo and the next are what made me realize that my digi camera is on it's last legs.

Captions to be coming later, if'n I get around to it. I've finally come to the conclusion that my digi cam is just way to old and kinda sucks. The night pix are blury and...
...well whatever. It's a poor workman who blames his tools. So here are a few more pixs.

I tried to play poker last night but the 'real' cardroom was about a 30 euro ride each way and the casino in town requires a tie and jacket (which I didn't bring and wouldn't have anyway just to play poker in Vienna). I played some video poker and won 20euros, so I guess that was cool enough (better than I do at home).

I'm leaving for Amsterdam tomorrow and think I should be a little more inspired once I get to Holland, we'll see tho.

Gotta go to another talk.

Hey Dave, did you study German? I did and I didn't even bother using much when I was there in the summer of 92. However, I felt much more at home in Northern Europe (I think we took a train from Rome there), since it wasn't so stinkin' hot and at least the German sounded familiar and I could read some stuff.

I really loved Amsterdam, not becasue of the pot, but because of the tall narrow buildings and canals. Enjoy!
