The Coffee-Coloured Wiener dog
Born in the USA,
but he has learned
to love hanging out in Kaffeehäuser -
ein echter Wiener eben!

The friendly cheerful waiter,
who reaffirmed once again my hunch
that "The Grumpy Viennese Waiter"
is but well-coddled Viennese lore:
I have yet to find one.

Gorgeous pictures, Merisi, but it's Max who's stolen my heart! He looks right at home here, as you say, this well-travelled habitué of Viennese kaffeehauser.
ReplyDeleteI need one of those wooden sticks. Great shots :)
ReplyDeleteEven a glass of water gets a silver tray. That's fine dining.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful photos make me feel I was there. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy mother visited Germany years ago and was enchanted by the beautiful little long-haired dachshunds in nice restaurants, waiting quietly under their owner's chairs. What a beauty Max is!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE dear, sweet Max! I grew up with dachshunds......such wonderful dogs and great companions.
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law is taking my sister-in-law to Vienna for their 25th wedding anniversary in the spring. I've sent them a link to your site because there's no better place to learn about the true comings and goings of your beautiful city.
Happy Sunday, Merisi!
