End of Tour
We did Vienna last night... playing pieces that were written for Viennese orchestras by Richard Strauss, so there was some trepidation. And we are all exhausted from doing the tour. But somehow with our last dregs of concentration we managed to get through it, and it was a triumph for the orchestra.
I love Vienna, and this stop on the tour was frustrating because we arrived just in time for the rehearsal, then had about 45 minutes to change clothes, then we were on for the concert. And this morning we had to leave at 8:30. So: no time to see the town. But I was determined, and after the show we wandered into the old town and I ordered my favorite "Wiener Schnitzel"

Thanks for stopping by and commenting today ... We live in the Belgisches Viertel - but there are a number of neighborhoods that are also great.
By the way ... that dinner looks good!

Oh you TEASE! I absolutely LOVE Vienier Schnitzel and have tried (in vain) so often to approximate it here.

Weiner Schnitzel, that's what I ate in Vienna and Carol is right-- it cannot be duplicated. It was a shame you had no tme, but you'll go back again. Check out the Hundertwasser Haus if you haven't gone there yet.
berlinbound: it was magnificent!
carol: I can't really cook but would love to be ableto make this. I understand you have to start with very thin veal steaks...
d.chedwick: I went to the Hundertwasser Haus the last time we played Vienna-- it is terrific.
haddock: how true!

Vienna is gorgeous and the schnitzel is good but if you are there for a longer period and see that almost anything is coated in the same matter as the zchnitzel then it kinda loses its appeal.
