The High Point of the Trip

We loaded up in a sleigh enclosed with plexiglass to keep us out of the wind and, following a map that Seamus drew for our guide, we headed to Santa's house. When we got there, we found the old man seated by a nice fire. He had one of his elves with him (not pictured) to keep everything moving along smoothly.

St. Stephansplatz

As is the case in many place in Europe, Vienna is a city of many curious juxtapositions. In this square, we find McDonald's located in a building of great beauty... not your neighborhood modern, boring, glass and concrete structure.
