Not only
is today a beautiful spring day in Vienna, but I head
off to Prater to see Vienna’s International Fair and
some smelly cows. Unfortunately, the film festival at
night includes a film that shows the slaughter of
those cows. Another example of the Ying and Yang of
life.
I show a TON of pictures today of Vienna’s beautiful parks and sights.

01971:
Some letter writing to mom and my brothers relieves
some of my horn-playing stress.
2007: I discover two new websites, one Austrian, www.austria-360.at, and the other www.panoramas.dk, that display absolutely gorgeous 360-degree panoramic pictures from around Austria and the world. Absolutely gorgeous and a lot of fun. The picture at the left is from panoramas.dk and is of the Vienna National Library (© Peter Winkler). It is stunning in 360.

Day 32 — Amusement at Prater
03-September-1971 (Fri.)
A day at
Vienna’s Prater amusement park with Anjali. I get a
little dizzy, lose in ping pong, and eat a lot. As an
aside, I comment on my use of emdashes and thus
address some of the grammar issues of my journal
writing, and plea to Grammar Girl to set me straight.

Day 12 — Let’s go to the summer cottage,
dear—Belvedere Palace
14-August-1971 (Sat.)
“Hello,
yes it’s me, Prince Eugene of Savoy. Yes, the guy who
defeated the Turks in 1683. Well, thanks. We want to
take the kids and go to the summer cottage this
weekend at Belvedere. Can you round up the
1,000-person staff and have them get the place ready?
Chow.”
That was the owner of Belvedere Palace. This was the first palace that I saw up close. Palaces are huge. The gardens are incredible. The interiors are ornate and magnificent. This was only the summer residence. Wow. I'm ready to move in.
Oh, and Anjali also plays folk guitar, sings, and writes songs. And I’m supposed to be the musician?
