In Vienna right now.  Very beautiful and clean, although I miss the hawkers trying to sell me Gucci and Prada knock-offs that permeated this cities we have seen so far.  Have noticed, in every city since and including Munich, there is a wonderful sense of pride in one's community.  No trash, no grafitti.  Just beauty and respect for the city and country you live in.  How do we bring that to America, and not just the artificial culture?

Oh, I know:

Obama '08

Anyways, political agenda aside, we are having a fantastic time.  Croatia was the most "out-of-our-comfort-zone" country so far.  Very little English anywhere, but really nice people and beautiful countryside.  And super cheap ice cream!  

Gearing up for the 2nd half of our trip.  Can't believe so much time has gone by and yet, we still have so much to see.  Unless Chris drags me back to Munich. In which case, we may never get back.  May have to hold the proverbial carrot (i.e. Dublin) to get him to leave!  Wish me luck!
