I can absolutely understand why you feel a calling to Vienna, I also feel same about it . I have several precious personal memories about Vienna , the great culture of that city, and about my Mum, with whom I were there several times, and we appreciated together the atmosphere there.
Also I agree Western Europe is more ejoyable than Eastern Eu, inspite of that i love my country, Hungary has plenty of cultural values too.
Which Eastern European countries have you been to?
Ah, Italy! Wonderful! I have been there too a few times. First with my ex-husby on our honey- moon in Venice and a few other places! Greece - I am very interested in, as I have read a lot about her/its ancient history and I hope once I will see the places where those famous battles, etc. were set in.
Beyond Vienna I feel a strong affection for going again to that special hiking where I have been to , in Tirol, to the Wolf’s Gorge, which was a hard tour but elevating experience! ( a place of pilgrimage).
Just now I saw the movie (1985) Sissi,- you know ,about the life of Elisabeth (Franz Joseph’s wife) , starring with Romy Schneider, original Austrian places, mountains in the film.
Have a nice time here,
Have you been living there for a long time?
Anyway, I spend a long time in Riga, Latvia (twice)....a CS date.. We went to Estonia, Lithuania, Greece and Rome. It was a world of education for me and then some. I just love the Europeans thirst for travel to connect with other cultures. I agree, your all quite blessed over the pond. Every country that I read about has so much interest, art, architecture, history and of course music. Actually,Latvia is very classically orientated, spent many times at the symphony and the opera (thank god they have this streaming video in English).
I've been in PA for 27 years. It's a beautiful area of the country and has all 4 seasons that makes it 'ever changing'. But, there's a world out there to discover, it is so vast and fascinating to me. Haven't made any plans yet for 2013, but with my job I can work anywhere in the world as long as I'm 'connected'. Hope your enjoying your weekend.....

I am glad you found pleasant people for Wien.
It must have been a nice journey of Eastern-Europe, and you are lucky if you can work in different places. Then you can see a lot of different parts of the world. Surely Pennsylvania is also a grandious place of the world.
Actually I am very satisfied if I can see Austria, next to our country-,it is still reachable for me.
But! I am very goal-orientated in travel, and fortunately it is my target country as I feel so that surroanding is one of my best subjects for my pittura and those mountains, waterfalls, villages, towns,culture, etc. that I need.
Of course there are other countries too I am interested in e.g. Scandinavia, France, Greece, England, but they are too far from reality for me this moment.
For this Summer I plan to have a nice hiking in the Alps of Austria, and with a more- persons cheerful company it would be very pleasant,( such a one that they do not definitely go everywhere together). I have organised some very nice hiking tours with friends or family.
