It should be a crime for a city to be this gorgeous

The bloody metro stations look better and cleaner than our airports back home.
All of us misjudged the weather badly and packed a lot of tees and shorts when the weather calls for pants and long tees. It’s not cold, but it’s not really high heat we thought we would get. Not complaining but now need to carry jackets with us at all times. Anyway a day of exploring this stunning city is on the menu. More I read avout vienna, more it just seems like an amazing city all around. Plus the cleanliness – jeez it’s incredible how clean this city is.
My goodness Vienna is absolutely fucking stunning!
Well Vienna tell me why you are rated as the best city in the world over and over again.
Ok enough America’s bashing. The one thing my country has gotten right by long long margin is the war on smoking. The amount of people that smoke in Europe is nauseating – compared to year after year decline in smoking and how much USA emphasizes smoking as a bad thing it’s actually a huge win. It makes me feel good that I don’t have to worry about enjoying a patio dinner without someone constantly smoking by the side. I dunno where Europe went wrong here but man smoking is truly just every fucking where.
The last two days have been outright cold here with days in low 70s and nights in 50s. Wherever that heat wave is, it’s not here. On the plus side 70s makes city roaming pleasant, but nights need jackets. I am ready for some 80s which should happen next few days. In fact looking at weather all of the trip we have managed to skirt the heat wave and will actually have very pleasant weather everywhere.
Day 4 and a new European city beckons. As always public transport between cities and inter cities are so good Uber/taxi is a waste of time.
Food / restaurant prices in the USA, and northern Virginia so high now that we are finding any restaurant in Europe… *cheap*. It’s ridiculous how much we are paying for food that is also so substandard.
A wonderful musician is playing Ed Sheeran songs in middle of Innsbruck town square and I can’t help thinking back to Ed Sheeran concert avout how he used to play at such places always thinking it would be his next big next thing and how he hoped he would do well. This musician is def getting a good $$$ from us tonight.
