I just burst out laughing at your description of the Viennese.  We used to call my mom (behind her back) Voice of Doom, VOD for short.

And, the apricots. . .oh, I miss the apricots.  My mom's family has orchards and orchards of them and once you taste one from a tree, you just can't buy them at the store.

Love the photos.  I hope to get my kids over there someday.
