Spring cocktail: Frühling’s 19

We’ve been in Vienna for over a week now, the longest we’ve been anywhere since we left Claremont last July. Being here for five weeks has meant an entirely different rhythm of travel, one that feels a lot more comfortable as we’ve gotten more and more exhausted over the last ten months. We keep saying that it’s 50% normal travel – venturing out into the city to see and do things – and 50% normal life – grocery shopping and cooking, slow mornings and early nights, and lots of time at our computers catching up on work and life and getting things done.

On our second night here we cooked dinner for ourselves, made a cocktail, and watched a DVD on the television in our apartment’s living room. It really set in, then, that we’d get to have a fairly domestic little experience while we’re here.

Austria and Germany: The food, in pictures.

I told you there’d be more. But there’s not much to this one – just the important stuff.

This accounts for about half of our meals, and definitely the more delicious ones. You’ll notice some patterns – meat, meat, potatoes, meat, meat, beer, bread, more beer, wine.  By the end of the trip I had literally written in my notes “my life for a vegetable,” and was ordering side salads at almost every meal – so don’t go thinking I’d normally choose this pattern of food. But there were so many things to try, and so many things to try again …

Have questions about what anything is or how it was likely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten? Feel free to leave a comment and I’ll let you know!
