Familiar pictures from wintry Vienna:St. Stephen's Cathedral, Fiaka horses at the Graben, St. Peter's Cathedral, Julius Meinl's gourmet temple, Hofkonditorei Demel's sweet shop windows with a 7 storeyed cake, Michaelertor and Hofburg, Heldenplatz and a view toward the City Hall, Volksgarden with its famous rosebushes, now protected against the cold by jute sacks and a big old plane-tree, the Meierei with closed doors, waiting for the warmer season to welcome coffee lovers, Empress Sisi's memorial, visited by her loyal fans from Japan (with umbrellas), and a Maroniverkäufer, selling hot sweet chestnuts - the best snack on cold, snowy days!

What a lovely walk around your beautiful city, Maria! It does look cold and gray much like Seattle, but still fascinating. Hope you're doing well. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Thanks, Maria, for the wonderful walk through Vienna. It brought back my memories from the city I loved so much visiting 3 years ago. Unfortunatly not with snow.
Have a good weekend.
