The timezone change is getting to us, but we are troopers! After our morning nap, we took a nice stroll around the area. Everything is very baroque - lavish, over the top. Even buildings built in the 50’s are in a baroque style. Then all of a sudden we come upon the Hundertwasser building. Freidenreich Hundertwasser was apparently not a fan of baroque architecture, or any other architecture for that matter. He was more a visualist with an environmental slant.
As we walked around, the meal alarm in Deb’s head went off. We looked at a few al fresco dining spots, but Deb realized that she had not studied up on Austrian dining protocol and was unwilling to make an egregious dining faux pax on her first day. I was willing to risk it, since every place was apparently filled with the dinner crowd. Then I realized that my internal clock was way off…it was actually the lunch crowd. We still had several hours to go for dinner. So we got two good Austrian pretzels at the grocery store, took them back to the VRBO, and took another nap.
Once Deb had googled Austrian dining protocols, she was good to go, and dinner, as far as we know, was a smashing success.
Deb made it to 7:30 PM local time before settling in for a good night’s rest. I made it until at least 7:45!
