Sitting in the Hilton Hotel at Gatwick Airport, on my way to Jamaica for a series of work-related meetings, I heard the funniest exchange between a middle-aged woman and a bartender in the lobby of the hotel:
Middle-aged woman: "May I have a glass of white wine, please?"
Bartender: "Of course."
Middle-aged woman: " Thank you." (pause) "But you will have to wait until my husband gets back.
"I don't carry money ... you know, like royalty."
You have GOT to love Europeans!

Alison & Nicholai in Vienna
Vienna By Day
A view of the pedestrian promenade below my office window. (It's early, but by lunchtime, the place is packed with tourists and workers)
About Me
International Baptist Church of Vienna
The children give a presentation of their time in Vacation Bible School. The blonde and the man in the blue shirt in the foreground are the pastor and his wife.
An Outing
Our staff had an outing at this lovely wine bar. There are many of them scattered on the outskirts of the city centre and they produce good local wines.
Nick's new pasttime
This beer has an alcohol content of 12 percent!
Swans along the Danube
Some of the swans are so big it's incredible! And they swim right up to you because they are used to people feeding them.
Batter Up!

Music in the courtyard
what a lovely way to earn some change
Okay already!
This photo is of a Lotus. Nicholai took this photo and he really wants it on my blog. So, here it is ... For those of you who don't know what a Lotus is (or maybe don't care), here is a link.
Courtyard art
How funny is this?
We had to take the photo ourselves because we couldn't speak enough German to tell the guy how to take the picture!
