Today was a travel day; all day in the car back to Vienna. When I got back I borrowed Shantaram from Tante Carole (by Gregory David Roberts). I think Nick would like this book, I should remember to tell him about it.

apfel - apple

Tante Carole and I met her friend Sachiko at a Thai/Chinese restaurant. The food was really good and Sachiko was really nice. She is a (nearly) 80-year-old woman who looks like she couldn’t be a day over 50. She brought me some traditional Japanese candies in a traditional box, which I think might be a little bit over my head. I must remember to send her a postcard from Italy to thank her for her generosity. She told me she liked Venice the best. I should send one from there.
