Happy Equinox!
I had no idea that the Equinox wasn’t always on the 21st. It was actually at 5:57pm today (about an hour ago as I write this) here in Vienna.
Spring has definitely sprung in Vienna – big time! My lunchtime walk to the pay-what-you-can Pakistani buffet, Deewan, was probably my favourite lunchbreak of the whole trimester! So many signs of Spring (if not summer!):
* first day with open-toed sandals,* couples getting their wedding photos done outdoors* the flowers have been planted and the trees are in full bloom
* the parks are busy* the terraces are too
* the fountains have been turned on
* the rose bushes have been uncovered and the chairs brought out in the the Volksgarten
* the number of tour groups clogging up the streets (yes, I’m talking like a local) have quadrupled
* and so have the number of services catering to tourists
What a glorious day indeed! I’m glad I had my iPhone with me to take pictures. Oh – and the lunch was great! Tomorrow, we celebrate the end of our trimester with an Equinox Party & art exhibition – if you’re in town, do drop by. Lots to see and do!
Have a wonderful time at your end of term party!!!! Good luck and have fun:)
