2010-10-09: Land in Wien

I landed in Wien (Vienna). Continuing a pattern, I was asked for directions less than 40 minutes after I arrived in the country, even before leaving the airport grounds.

My German was sufficient to check in and respond to a maid in the hallway without resorting to English. I am nowhere near proficient, but I can get by, and I am recognizing more words automatically. I heard “Aufsteigen links” and looked left before thinking of the English word “left.”

I photographed some buildings where my father, grandfather, and great-grandparents lived or had stores.
