Give us a ring!

Thanks to the internet and to Vonage we now have a home phone here in Vienna.  Our home phone number here is the same as our home phone number was in Seattle: 206 774 4069.  Please feel free to give a call and if we're not home leave a voicemail.  But, please remember that depending on where you live in the States we are somewhere between 6-9 hours ahead of you, so please do not call in the middle of the night!

Today we walked to the municipal building that is shared by the 13th and 14th Districts of Vienna.  We had hoped to fill out paperwork that would allow us to receive a certificate that says that we live here, enabling us to get cell phones.  But, we were missing a signature, so we will go back on Friday after we have the signature of  the gentleman from whom we are renting our flat.  It's funny, most things here take multiple tries--applying for Visas, getting groceries, finding the right coffee shop, etc.

We did have a lovely walk and strolled a bit through Schonbrunn Park, which is a huge beautiful park.  Tomorrow afternoon I hope to walk to the BioMarkt which is the organic grocery store here.  Happy Fall and Hag Sukkot Sameach!
