thanks for the info Russophile about Potemkin Stairs, I will look into Odessa more. I would like to go to Vienna for Christmas, but will have to settle for the German mkt near Chicago with the 4 pc. band. It would be nice if they had reindeer. I take a lot of cursing from the wife about how BAD the food is in the U.S., chemicals/ steroids. It is a HUGE reason she hates the U.S.. I bought organic chicken , but is was not better, I will try New Zealand next. So much for small matters, nice day to you, enjoy a walk in the park or a cafe coffee, I think or the coffee houses in Vienna now, I missed stopping in them the 2 times I passed thru long ago.
