We took a detour from our original plan, and decided to visit Leo and Petra in Vienna. Unfortunately, a business trip took Petra out of town the day after we arrived, and since Leo only arrived in Vienna a few days before us, he took us to the only area he knew…the Naschtmarkt–the farmers market/outdoor restaurant area. We spent the entire day in the same area, wandering around– eating and drinking beer and sturm–my favorite things to do.
Sturm, a seasonal drink produced by Austrians, is made of just-pressed grapes and looks a bit cloudy. It can be white or red, just like regular wine, but the alcohol content is much higher. (sorry, there is no photo.)
Although it was a short visit with Leo, it’s not the last we’ll see of him. We’re already making plans to meet in Egypt to go scuba diving sometime in November.
