VIENNA, January 15

January 15: Went to Calvary Chapel, an international church sponsored by a church in Maryland. There were probably about 50 people there and a lot more young people. Everything was in English and then German. Went back to eat at a restaurant—had the typical pork, dumpling, and sauerkraut. Neighborhood restaurants are cheaper with bigger helpings than those in the central part of the city. Sunday Wien really closes down—it is hard to find an open restaurant except in the tourist areas. However, I am surprised by its filthiness. Dog droppings on the edge of the sidewalk; frozen urine on the sidewalks; paper garbage blowing in the streets. It is not my memory of 30+ years ago. Temperature still dropping—must be in the upper teens.
