Today was a fantastic day!!!  We picked up my Oma and drove up into the mountains by Vienna... and the views were spectacular!  I may have given myself whiplash from frantically trying to see everything around me!  I'd jump from one side of the car to the ๓ther trying to get pictures of as much as I could.  I'd admire something on the right side, only to then have something on the left side catch my eye!  It was crazy but so much fun.  I think my Oma really enjoyed herself, too! 

We drove back home through Vienna and I set the camera to the 'action' setting and snapped away like a fool!  I did get some nice shots and I've become darn good at taking pictures out of windows of moving vehicles!  I'm sure this newly acquired talent that will serve me well!  It impresses me, that's for sure!  LOL

Then it was off to IKEA for gravy.... yes, you read right... gravy!  It's awesome and I know a few people who love it and are probably out if it, so I should be able to hawk it to them for outrageous amounts of money!  LOL  I think the coolest part about that stop was that I ended up as the new cover girl for their new catalogue!  Don't ask me how that happened, but it certainly thrilled me!  Don't believe me?  Check out the pic! 

Now Oma and Hannes are resting and I'm updating all of you!  I believe we're going to the Danube Tower tonight so I can see all of Vienna dressed up it's lights and finery!  I'm sure that will be as stunning as everything else has been.  Considering it's my last night, I think it's a great way for me to say good bye to a part of this world that holds so many of my favourite people, incredible views, beautiful architecture and continues to be a place where I get to create so many wonderful memories!  I'm going to miss it..... all of it!  Sniff!!!
