OH DEAR LOOK AT THE TIME

Things have aligned to point to the universe that today is a good day for me. Even though my Vienna class was more like a competition to see how many stairs we could climb until we passed out. I wish my camera battery wasn't dead; it was such an idiotic oversight. I believe it is safe to say I climbed probably a thousand stairs, up and down. Just here:
imagine this in the sun
see all those people? see how tiny they look?

That, on top of walking around for three hours beforehand, climbing staircases to and fro and to and fro the U-Bahn stations. And she didn't even pay for my Eis. Sigh. But! It is pumpkin season and everything here follows the seasonal availability of foods and so every restaurant has all this delicious pumpkin stuff that I want to imbibe. I mention it only because I got a scoop of pumpkin ice cream today. First, Viennese Eis is so resplendent and amazing. Second, I had mouthfuls of toasted pumpkin seeds. !!!!

This post will now never be anything but banal, because I feel like going to bed a bit early. Viele Gruesse aus Wien!
