VIENNA NASCHMARKT

This morning we walked to the famous Naschmarkt. There were people, people everywhere.

It was almost impossible to stop and look at anything. There was a lot of pushing and shoving- still having a difficult time adjusting to the lack of manners in this city. The Naschmarkt is open Monday through Friday with mostly produce and foods, but on Saturday add a giant flea market and you have the makings for a wild time.

The produce is amazing!

Last week I went to the welcoming tea for the UN Women's Guild which was hosted by the Polish Embassy.

The room where we met. The ceilings and walls were very ornate.

The ambassador's office

There were women from many countries. At one point I was sitting between the wives of the Syrian and Jordanian ambassadors. Many were wearing the dress of their country and their massive jewelry made my NM necklace look pretty piddling.

Women from Poland had pottery from their country for sale

I catch a train tomorrow for Filzmoos for a German women's retreat so will be gone for the week. Hope to have some pictures to post when I return.
