RE: Silvester/Neujahr in Wien // New Year's Eve/ New Year in Vienna
Hi Anna,
I'm smiling about the contrast between self and external image. You can believe me about your writing: I'm not skilled at much but my formal training is in literary analysis. I have a good "ear". The lack of artifice adds value--prosaic, and eloquent 😇
I was in Vienna in 1972, for I think two days, traveling with my mother. We stayed in a pension near the Opera House. It was the week before Easter. There was a celebratory air, everywhere. My mother would have loved it, but she was ill, and we never really got to tour the city. So I'm looking forward to your Easter blog 🐣🌷
Love, from very chilly New York

Servus AG,
Maybe you know the expression "Servus". It's a friendly greeting, which is used in the welcome as well as in the farewell.
It's a pity that you haven't seen more of Vienna due to your mother's illness. In almost 5 decades a lot has changed in the city. I'm happy to present you some highlights of the Vienna today with its eventful history.
Baba (a farewell that is especially common in Vienna), have a good time!
Love from VieAnna 🌷
