I'd love to go traipsing down those stairs.

And . . . your photo kind of reminds me of a nautilus!

very touristic though. It was beautiful in the evening, after all of the people had left.

We had a concert in the church last night...

[IMG][/IMG]

and another this morning in another hall at the Abbey. I'm dead!

Am sitting in the Vienna airport waiting for my flight. The plane is overbooked, so they're offering some cash and a free night in a nice hotel in Vienna should I choose not to go today. Sounds tempting, but I want to get home now-sooo tired.

I'll post a few more pictures when I get home. I didn't get that many good shots, but a few will give an idea of what it's like.
