Vienna Calling



Gruss Gott, LIJ!!!! Wie gehts?

Things are going awesome here in Wien (that's what the folks here call it). I'm learning so much about this place, things in general and myself.
Did you know that there are about 2 million people in Vienna? They speak German, but they call themselves "Austrians." Who knew?

Anyway, Heidi, Pete and I (Irinia had to be on the runway in Belgrade) thought we'd clear our heads a little, and get a taste of the countryside in the city -- which Heidi says she misses a little: It's like her Sachertorte; she needs a dose every so often. So yesterday, we went to the petting zoo. That was so fun. I was surprised though, because there were so many pigs. I took this picture:

It's a bit small, but thats because they're baby pigs.

When we got back to the hotel, guess what we did... That's right, we enjoyed some creamy coffee and Sachertorte!

As they say here in Wien, "es war ausgezeichnett!"
Anyway, hope that I don't get sick in the next few daze, because all the doctors are going on strike! Obviously, they haven't figured out how to make these people responsible to market forces yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

By the way, Jew, I was reading your post about winning over hard-working voters. didn't they already try that in Uganda? Don't know if that's really a good model for your guy, Obama.

Just sayin'...
