Vienna we made it!

---

Snapshot: Even after another delay we made our flight once again. We left La Palma and and its bananas just two days ago. Prior to leaving the island, we tried twice to make it to the banana museum. But it was not to be, the place was inexplicaby closed both times. So we left the island, flew to Madrid and then on to Frankfurt-Hahn, a small, two horse town in the middle of nowhere, central Germany, that became home to an international airport after a former NATO airbase there was abandoned. We spent the day eating German breads and sweets, admiring metamorphic rock crops and walking along a forest trail to the next village.
We flew out the following day to Bratislava (capitol of Slovakia, 1 hour,s drive east of Vienna). We are now in Vienna, and happy to post that the food here is unbelivable. (In a good way.) We spent a wonderful day with Mama Polenz, Peter, and sister Irene. Next will be Ethopia.



Banana Index: No fresh banana seen, just banana ice cream, and banana flavored choclate. Banana-colored theme inside Ryan Air airplanes.

Wildlife sightings:0 (Not counting a bunch of Lipizzaner horses at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, and Michael going after all available food in Vienna.)

Cheetah sightings: 0

Number of chickens crossing the road: 0
