Frühling in Wien! (Springtime in Vienna!)
It’s turning out to be a really nice week, so I thought I’d post a few pics that I took the last three days around Vienna to help get into the springtime feeling!

City Bike Program in Vienna
So today I got to have my first experience with the City Bike program. I had to pick up my ceramic creation I painted on Saturday, which was in the 9th district. Since I was helping Debbie set up her new Facebook account, I got to go with her and use the City Bike program. … Read more
