Reflections on Vienna

• Vienna was a pretty city, lots of ornate buildings and churches.
• Excellent coffee; they're not messing around with that.
• We made friends with our drivers and chaperones. They were really lovely people. We also connected with the folks in the restaurants/cafes we frequented. So I would say that Austrians are pretty reserved, but if you make an effort and scratch the surface they will warm up.
• There have to be a lot of tourists in Vienna, but we barely saw any. Maybe because of where we were/who we were hanging out with/what we were doing, we avoided the tourist crush.
• The city was a bit austere overall for my tastes, and unfortunately I never vibed with it. But it's definitely worth a visit.
