Meanwhile back at the UN


Drew came to visit Tuesday! We walked around to the water-side Copa Cagrana (pun on the neigborhood's name - Kagran) down the street from the UN (see background).


We ate at a Greek restaurant serving the most delicious fresh seafood (half price at lunch!) and these napkins that teach Germans how to speak Greek. You, dear readers, can learn both.


And then followed a tour of the city and dinner at Da Capo's and a walk around the Ringstrasse. So good to see him! Yesterday we went for a turn on the giant Reisenrad at the Prater (of The Third Man fame)


In addition to having a great view, the old ferris wheel cars had rather amusing graffiti and a rather amusing Canadian family that was in town for the AIDS conference.


We paid 50 cents to see hard we could hit the hammer at the fun fair... Drew made it to 300.


However, the machine did not register the mighty blow I dealt it. How insulting.


But Drew did! 

 

It's been so wonderful having him here... and Amanda, Aimee and Holly arrive tomorrow!!! These last few weeks are going to be so wonderful :).
