All Saints Day



Nov. 1 is All Saints Day. A holiday for the Catholics, and a tradition for most Viennese. Each Nov. 1 families visit the cemeteries and the grave sites of their loved ones. It is the time each year for fresh flowers, large wreaths, and new decoration in general. The decorations are large and quite noticeable. The cemeteries are busy for the whole day. A flower shop had set up a stand outside the cemetery gates to sell wreathes and flowers for the visitors, as the shops are closed on Sundays.

Birthday Dessert

For my birthday we visited a cafe that serves nothing but elegant desserts. It was a hard decision, but I ended up with creme brule. Yum. A good find by David!
