Es Schneit im Wien!

That's German for it's snowing in Germany. I think.

Today it is snowing. What a great way to get in the mood for Christmas. We saw two markets today, and with only an hour and a half total at the two, I wonder whether the tour actually gets money to take us there or not :)

Anyway, the markets are much like the craft fairs in the states - Bizarre Bazaar or the Neptune Festival or Craftsman's Classic. Neat carved things, glass things, spinny things, sparkly things, etc. Lots of food and alcohol, which is essential to staying warm. Today I had punch, which tasted like hot whiskey. I think I am still feeling the effects, as I can't type.

Later it's on to the Strauss and Mozart concert, and after walking all around the Burg Theatre looking for Cafe Zentrum, I will not stray far for dinner. That experience is worth a whole post, so I will save for later.

This truly has been a great trip so far. I will feel very equipped to come back and plan my own time here in the future.
