My birthday dinner was at a wonderful heuriger (wine garden) called Fuhrgassl Huber in Neustift am Walde (a district in Vienna). The vineyards stretched behind the garden up a hillside, the flowers in the garden were everywhere and well taken care of. My friends who hosted my stay are the two in the middle of the picture. We spread liptauer, garlic cheese spread and gorgonzola on bread and rolls and drank wine mixed with soda water while waiting for the rest of the guests to show up.

Here's the whole party, with SIL taking the picture. The sun had just begun to go down. We ate schnitzel, and roast pork and fried veggies and drank lots of white and red house wine. It was also fun to catch up with people I hadn't seen in ten years. In just a short while after the first picture was taken it started to rain, a few people left, but mostly we went inside and continued. The rain didn't last long and when we left the air was cooler. The only down side was I got what I think was a wasp bite on my ankle. It's a lot better today.
