Greek Orthodox Church

MJ, Scott, Kris and I were on our way to our dinner reservations, when we found this wonderful temple right next door to our destination.  It was very dark inside, and I loved it.  Why I don’t know, but I just liked the mood of the place.  If felt safe, cool, comfortable, old...  The entrance to this temple (the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church – opened in December 1858) was unlocked, but the rest of the church was secured…probably to keep people like me out.  Meanwhile, the group just wanted me to finish up quickly so we could go eat. 

By the way, the restaurant was amazing.  We ate at Griechenbeisl, which happens to be the oldest restaurant in Vienna Austria.  It was founded in 1447 and I can see why.  The food was outstanding.

Vienna Graffiti

This is Vienna Austria’s idea of street graffiti.  As we walked around the downtown city area exploring, I found this little spot and a few other similar style graffiti spots.  I loved the old look of the graffiti and the street environment.  As you can tell, it was a rainy, gray, cloudy day, which we experienced a bunch during this trip.

NOTE:………………… After posting this, it was pointed out to me (by my wife) that this isn’t from Vienna. I took this photo in Regensburg Germany. Sorry for the mistake.
