OT - Webshot Photos added

Hi Guys,
DH and I just returned from Vienna. We took loads of photos while there. I
was lucky enough to be able to take a dy trip to Budapest, Hungary so I have
also put up photos from that trip. There should be a link to my Webshots album
in the tag lines at the end of this post.
To get this more towards being online, I found the "Fabric" section of the
city where the "sewing" and fabric shops have been traditionally located.
There is a Tailor statue in that area and I have included a pic of it in the
album. There are several fabric shops in what I call "Old Vienna" and not one
of them had any cotton fabric! All of the lightweight fabrics suitable for
quilts or clothing was a blend of poly-cotton. I DID find some lucious dupioni
silks for a reasonable price so I bought several meters :-). I bought some
purple/gold and some purple/green. This is the fabric that has one color weft
threads and warp threads in another color. I'll wash & dry it before using and
it should be OK for use in the Autumn and Christmas quilts I *hope* to make for
myself.
Anyway, even tho' there isn't any quilty stuff in the album, I hope you go
take a look at the pics. Vienna is an absolutely wonderful city and the parks
and gardens are superb! I didn't see a lot of Budapest but there are also
some lovely photos of the two sides of the city straddleing the Danube. Hope
you enjoy!! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Hi Mary, Vienna is a lovely city. So many beautiful old structures that
are preserved. Did you take the cruise down the Danube? We are thinking of
doing that next spring.

.... Did you take the cruise down the Danube? ...

Yep, DH and I took a combined coach/boat tour of the Wachau Valley -- cost of
61Euro each, a bit more then $76 each at the time (no food was included in the
price). We road the coach (aka bus) to the Wachau Valley where we boarded the
boat. We boated down the Danube to the village of Melk -- had lunch on the
boat -- where we disembarked at Melk. We re-boarded our bus and went to the
Melk Abbey where we had dessert at a lovely restaurant on the grounds -- the
rest of the group chose to have lunch. The group we were with then toured the
Abbey which is absolutely exquisite!
Neither DH nor I can remember how long the bus ride back to Vienna was but
we both agree it was no more than 2 hours. We were picked up at our hotel in
the morning and returned to the Vienna Opera House that evening. It was a
short walk back to the hotel, less than 15 minutes. We really enjoyed all the
things we did and I would *highly* recommend a trip to Vienna to anyone -- even
if there aren't any quilt shops :-)! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Hungary so I have also put up photos from that trip.

Did you see any signs of the tornado damage?

Budapest was hit by a couple of *big* tornadoes about a month ago -
no British paper seems have reported it.

WHERE is this LQS? I asked everyone who would hold still long enough to be
questioned in English and not one soul knew of a quilt shop anywhere! I even
asked the young woman in the fabric shop where I bought the dupioni! I
mentioned that I would be washing & drying some of the fabric to use in a quilt
since I couldn't find any quilting type cottons. VBS -- oh well, I'll tell DH
we will have to go back again so that I can visit the LQS :-)))! CiaoMeow

HMMM -- nope, didn't see any sign of a tornado. The Tour Guide didn't say
anything either. Everything in the parts of Budapest that we saw looked like
it was just fine -- wonder if the tornados were in the outer areas of the city?
