Wien, Wien, Wien

There's this line from this great song that goes like this:

I tried to think of bad times
Good Memories are all I have.

mmm... so true. Two years ago I got to live in beautiful Vienna for a few months. I've been thinking about it a lot today because my Cousin Emily arrived in Wien for her Austrian Adventure today and because I did some delicious cupcaking and H&Ming with my Best Vienna Friend Forever Lauren. H&Ming and yummy dessert eating was something we did quite often in Vienna.

Sometimes I worry that I idealize my trip and if I ever went back it would be disappointing. It occurs to me that I glamorize things a bit when I look back lovingly on things like waiting for the strassenbahn and going to Bratislava. I think that's a normal thing to do when you have such a strong experience with anything.

I miss Vienna. It was a great adventure and it makes me sad to think that it was two whole years ago. New adventures are on the horizon though, and someday I'll go back to Wien, not to relive the good times but to have new ones. yes yes yes.

And to eat the delicious food. Whenever I worry that going back to Vienna would be trying to recapture a time rather than a place I remind my self that I didn't make up how good the food was, so I can never been completely disapointed if I go back.
