Some people go to Vienna to hear Schubert and Mozart, others to see the Vienna Boys Choir, still more for the Vienna Philharmonic - it is a city filled with music. While Jr and I both play piano and have a love for classical music, this weekend music was the backdrop. We happened upon street performers singing and playing guitar, choirs singing in church, and an orchestra rehearsing in another church on an evening walk. These serendipitous moments knitted together the hours of fun as we blitzed Vienna, taking in the sights, tastes, and sounds of a lovely, civilized little city.

BITWRATHPLOOB: Buck Toothed Rope Armed Troll Haired Pantsless Wood Bear
He travels around the globe and I had the honor of showing him Vienna. As you can see we ahd lots of fun. (Notice his fondness for sweets. Apparently, he has a bit of a drinking problem, but as this was a dry weekend for me...it was for Bitwrathploob too. I placated him with Viennese desserts.)
