My dear mother came to Vienna to educate herself at the Hilton Congress Centre and we spent some time together on Thursday and at the weekend. She brought me a lot of food so I have a full fridge now :-)). Thanks again! We went to the Centre together and we were little bit squeezed by the shopping crowd on Saturday. Anyway the Christmas atmosphere is everywhere and the markets and "Glühwein" are still so nice. We went to the Volksoper to see the Opera from Mozart: the Zauberflöte. It was also crowded but we enjoyed it. On Sunday the streets were not so full. We had a coffee at Starbucks, then we visited an advent organ concert in the Maltese Church and finally we had a drink in the Hilton bar. I also got an advent calender from my mom!!!
