Greetings from Vienna. This may be a short post - this keyboard makes me nuts. The y and z are swapped. Doh!!

Anyway, I'm on the road to recovery. I'm still not 100% by any means, but I'm definitely feeling better now. Still being careful about what I eat, and bummed to not be able to realllllllly sample the great food-beer-wines they have to offer here. Will have to have some cake and coffee, apparently fun thing to do in Vienna.

The city is lovely, and for some reason the word that comes to mind is 'old world'. I feel like I should be waltzing through the palaces we've seen. We saw Melk Abbey yesterday that has a crazy amount of gilding and gold on every conceivable surface, and weirdly posed bones of saints (don't worry, I have photos - up to 667 now...). Tonight I am going to see some opera (the guide has agreed to take me - I suggested that it was like in Pretty Woman except without me being a whore.) I have managed to buy insane amounts of presents considering everything has to be flat-light or unbreakable.

I'll fill in more details when I return, others are waiting for the computer, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm on the mend, having fun and still alive and kicking.
