- Off to the next part of the trip – Vienna Oct 15, 2025

- Never got a chance to fly one of those! Oct 15, 2025

- That brought back memories Oct 15, 2025
I love a well set up library in a hotel. In fact, that has to be my most favorite part of a hotel. This one – Le Meridien in Vienna had books with covers made from old newspapers. Just like we used to do back in India when I was a mere child.

- Musician in our neigh-borhood ! Oct 16, 2025
The music he was playing was very nice though!

- If in Europe with Sharmila, we have to visit the art museums Oct 16, 2025

- The first museum was a bit unimpressive Oct 16, 2025
But we talked to a person there and Sharmila explained how she had studied about Gustav Klimt and would like to see some of his works. The gentleman immediately pointed us to the Belvedere.

- Lovely walk thru Vienna Oct 16, 2025
The weather was a bit cool but the sun felt great!

- Only in Europe… Oct 16, 2025

- Sharmila comes face to face with something she wanted to see for a long time Oct 16, 2025
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

Note how realistic they have made the picture of the bicyclist waiting to cross. The bike is at an angle, not the usual upright in red!! This is in Vienna.

- St. Stephen’s Cathedral Oct 16, 2025
Owen – one of our favorite bartenders in Chiringa, back in downtown Alpharetta, had asked us to see it. Impressive structure.
