Friday - Vienna

Today the Mozi is filled so it is a day off for us to visit Vienna. After breakfast the rest of the team (Jensen's and Dave left for home) head down to the train station for the 2 1/2 hour ride to Vienna, Austria. The train was very comfortable with an enclosed box of 6 seats for us. After arriving we took the subway downtown and walked around the area visiting 3 large, old and beautiful churches. Two were being renovated, with St. Charles having scafolding inside which allowed us to go to the very top of the dome to view the surrounding city of about 2 million, about the same size as Budapest. Unfortunately the windows at the top were all draped with pigeon netting so we could not get pictures of the view. The city was windy and colder than Budapest so it was a welcome break to get inside the buildings.

Before the train ride home we enjoyed a nice dinner. Aaron and Rob each had a Wiener Schnitzel as big as a pizza. Then the ride back to Budapest about 8:30 in the evening. Tonight a Christian singles group of about 60-70 people are meeting in the Mozi (each Friday night). Nice to hear sounds of this ministry center being used for God.

After some e-mailing we are out for some sleep. Here are a couple of shots from our day.
