According to my calculations, I hoofed it through about 6 kilometers of Vienna yesterday. I broke down and got myself a metro pass today. I think it's worth the €5, really. I was so worn out yesterday I took a nap *and* went to bed at 10:30. Yikes.
There's a store I've seen around Germany and Austria called C&A. It's logo is identical to the logo for C&A sugar back in the States. I wonder if it's planned that way. And I wonder if the C&A sugar people are making revenue off it? Weird...
Had my official Viennese coffee experience today. They call it a mélange - espresso and steamed milk. Sound familiar? Right, it's a latte. Tastes exactly the same as at home, except for your €3.10 you also get to sit outdoors in a café and look at beautiful architecture. You're supposed to linger over your order -- sip, read, scribble, write, or whatever; I just can't sit still that long when I'm by myself. I sipped until my coffee went cold and took off. Thought about getting a piece of Apfelstrudel (apple strudel for you monoglots), but decided to save the pastries for France, when my parents will be paying. :-)

I was in Mexico and saw C&A clothing stores, actually thinking that it must be owned by the sugar company--like they were branching off into a drastically different direction. It was only when I got back to the US and went for some sugar that I realized the sugar is called C&H and not C&A. But damn, what is with that logo simularity? Also, I highly recommend the struddel--French pastries are different and good too but you gotta try to struddel in Vienna all the same.
