More Butterflies

 Butterflies, but only the same three or four varieties.  A lot of them have tattered wings, too.

Back To Caruso's

 It is always good to go to a place where they put your order in when you get to the door, and are already bringing your drinks as you sit down.  That's just one of the things that makes Pizzeria Caruso so awesome.  Their pizza is truly great because they use real ingredients instead of fake cheeses and the dough is made fresh daily - it's in the taste.  Really good place all the time.

Smells So Good

This smells sooo good!  It's a little dried kitchen hanger that will go in the house when we get home.  I got it at a Christmas market in Vienna.

Many Many Beads

It turns out that this ornament has more beads than cross stitches.  I'm working my way through them.

Butterflies At The Hofburg

 We went into this butterfly garden prepared to like it.  We were very disappointed.  There were very few varieties of butterflies; there were few butterflies; and the place looked like it could use a major maintenance overhaul.  This made me sad.  It's part of one of Vienna's premier attractions, yet it's rundown and sad looking.  I did manage to get some photos that don't show either of those conditions.  I'll have more over the next couple of days.

Yummie Grill

 This place was truly American food in Krakow, including portion sizes.  Initially, our service was slow as there was a demanding elderly lady tour group that stopped for coffee.  Once they left, service improved markedly.  It was chilly out, so I had both cappucino and soup.  The soup, a tom kha, was spicy without being overpowering.  Andreas had a hamburger and I had a chicken sandwich; we split both in half and shared.  We could have had merely one sandwich between the two of us.  Andreas' Greek salad was full of cheese and olives, which he loved.

Peace On Earth from Barbara Jackson

When I got to Texas, this was waiting for me in my stack of mail.  It's Barbara Jackson's Peace on Earth ornament sponsored through Shining Needle Society.  I showed it to my mother and she liked it, so I'm making it for her immediately.  Got the first two elements done!
