Day 14; Vienna, Austria

Happy June!

I awoke this morning to a happy tune. I am fondly reminded that one of the very nice things about being in Lukas' company is that occasionally music spontaniously happens. This is a source of great joy for me and also rather encouraging.

This first full day in Vienna (Wien as it is called natively) began with a gorgeous bike tour through an area called Lobau.

There were so many interesting spaces created by nature (in concert with man to some extent).
Wild cherries grew along the paths, there were several lovely bridges, each with its own charm, and a place that just opened up into a meadow clearing with a big log to sit on and take it all in.

Breathtaking.

Indeed, it was lovely. I did take a few photos, attempted a video clip, but honestly, in the first moment where my breath ran short I thought, "there's no way to capture this."


That doesn't mean I didn't try!

Reflections from my journal
"Things have had time to grow-over here, so that even in such a well-established place, you might find yourself cutting a new path."
