Vienna at a glance

Vienna is a classy city. The Hofburg Palace is right on this main Ring Boulevard that runs for 4 kilometers.
The sign above was on a church door and says: "Confession & speaking out." It is for those wanting to talk or confess to the priest.

This winter I got a free trip to visit some friends in Vienna & get some ideas for Connexxion. There I briefly (in 1 afternoon) checked out some of the campuses, too. They have 100,000 university students in this prestigious city! The daughter took me to a well- known ice cream & Italian pastry shop.
Here is one of the main campus buildings which even has audio head sets so you can tour it!
Making some delicious dinner out of pastry dough and cabbage!

Hey, are you familiar with Intervarsity? We have friends (Chris and Laurie Goree, they were w/Max at OU) who have started a chapter at OU ... anyway, they just shared that Intervarsity has an international umbrella ...

YES! Christina! thanks... Intervarsity is part of a larger organization world -wide (IFES) that goes by different names in different countries. In Austria it's called "Österreichische Studentenmission!". Would maybe be cool to meet some of them... :-) thanks for stopping by!
