Jim's in town!

There's an elevator in the Stephansdom Cathedral that brings you to the top of the north tower. The view of Vienna is amazing! And a little bit scary - the elevator stops and drops you off in basically a wire cage with stairs that you can take to nice solid stone beneath your feet...
We went to this wine cellar called the Twelfth Apostle (in English) - it was built some time in the 1100's. So beautiful. And Muskateller is an amazing wine.

This is in one of the shopping districts in Vienna - all the Christmas lights are lit now in the evenings, and it's really beautiful!
And again, the view from the top of the Stephansdom tower... We're really high up!
Sachertorte, apple strudel and melange... Vienna rocks.
