A Rainy Day In Vienna

It rained most of the night and most of the day, so my activities outside of my apartment were pretty much limited to necessity only. While I was out, I did take a couple of random pictures that I thought were cool. I found the description of Puntigamer beer humorous. It says, Puntigamer: the "beery" beer! I've never seen beer used as an adjective before. The next picture is the view down a random side street in my neighborhood, but I though it was a beautiful view between the buildings with the church in the background. If you don't agree, too bad! The last picture is the neon sign for a Kebab stand on Mariahilferstrasse, not too far from my apartment. Kebab is short for Döner Kebab in Turkish which literally translates "rotating meat." It took me a while to get used to this because in Germany the short name is Döner, and in Austria the short name is Kebab. Regardless of what they are called, they taste great. If you haven't tried one because you are afraid of eating the meat in one of these places, you are missing out!

That is a very nice view down the street. Sorry to hear it rained most of the day.

I can see the C&A sign in the background of the kebab picture. Is it the same departmental store you find in England? I always call it "Cheap & Awful", does anyone know what C&A stnads for? Is it an English company?
