I made it safe and sound! part one of the journey is complete. We landed in Vienna shortly before 3pm local time. I picked up my luggage and caught the train to the center of the city where I took the U-bann (subway) to Mitch's apt. I did get temporarily turned around when I got off the U-bann but it didn't take long to find his apt and the key he left for me.
Once here, I checked my e-mail called mom and dad, and washed up. It is hot and humid here. Kinda makes Normal seem a little tame.
I went out again to Stephansplatz to see Stephansdom, or St. Stephen's Cathedral. I walked around the platz, square, for a while, saw some break dancers, then found a cute little cafe to have dinner and some good local Austrian beer! I just sat there for quite a while people watching and enjoying my food.
Its about 8:40pm and with the long day of traveling that started yesterday with little sleep, I'll probably call it a night pretty soon and will catch the ÖBB to Salzburg tomorrow which will take about 2.5 hrs and my host mom Geistberger is so graciously picking my up at the train station in Salzburg.
So I'll say gute nacht to all.
