Quick Update

I'm in the middle of a Salamone visit to Vienna.  I think I can tell that my ass is a little bigger than before they came.  We have eaten everything.  Lisa brought donuts from NY to get us started off right.  And then some boiled beef, dumplings and roasted pork, pizza, middle eastern, schnitzel, more pizza.  Right now its 7:30 in the morning and everyone has gotten up early so that we can all go to breakfast together at a French place we love.  They serve amazing croissants and marmelade and honey, oh lord.  Tonight we are going to a cooking class at the Ambassador's residence.  Apparently there is no Ambassador right now but they still have a full-time cook on staff so he's been giving cooking classes to the embassy folks.   We went last week and had a nice time.  We cooked up a whole mess of food and then sat down at the big formal dining table and used the fancy plates and silverware.
