6/30/24 Fulfilling My Duties as Ambassador of American Baking Arts

Today, we baked.  Or rather, I baked while keeping Maxi from eating all the apples before they went in the pie.

Since I'm acting in my official capacity as self-appointed Ambassador of the American Baking Arts, I made a fancy pie.

6/18/14 Off to the Esperanto Museum

Wednesday was our last day in Vienna.  After breakfast, we packed up our things and double-checked the rooms, then gathered in the lobby before locking up our baggage for the afternoon.

6/17/14 Vienna - KILLER SWANS!

And for your enjoyment, or at least mine, some video of the killer swans.

6/17/14 Vienna - This was a really long day, wasn't it?

Saw this on my way to dinner.

6/17/14 Vienna - Nationalbibliothek

I left the museum and headed back to Michaelerplatz.  I still had some time to kill before the major museums closed for the day so I hobbled back to Michaelerplatz with the plan of walking down the street to the Albertina.

Here's a church on Michaelerplatz.

6/17/14 Vienna - Sisi Museum

After the Silberkammer I went upstairs to the Sisi museum.  Sisi is the nickname of the Empress Elizabeth, who was mythologized after her assassination.  There are a couple famous movies about her and a musical.

6/17/14 Vienna - Silberkammer

After the others had finished eating, I walked with them a bit into the Innenstadt before going my own way.  I passed an interesting mosaic on the way.
