Well, we finally got here after our harrowing experience of almost missing our flight from Paris we were the last ones on the plane with no one else in sight at the gate.  All of this was due to the security officers strike and there being only three security checks for hundreds (maybe even thousands of people eager to fly our of Paris).  We did have a good flight, though, and landed safely at the Vienna airport where we were met by the GYLC reps.  Min immediately started to make friends with the kids who were there so I took off for the hotel.  I spent the afternoon doing a bit of shopping at a huge shopping mall near the hotel (with major sales just like in Paris 50-70% off everywhere!!)...I bought what I like to call my 'Audrey Hepburn' dress... black and simple...  I will try to upload some pis tomorrow but tonight it is time for zzzzzzz's... so that I will be rested for a tour of the historical highlights of Vienna in the morning and dinner and a Mozart and Strauss concert in the evening.  It will be very weird without having Min with me...
