the case of the missing green children's book

Christina here. Blogging for the first time. So, as Jeffrey mentioned, we had some significant time to kill in the Munchen airport. In our sleep deprived haze, one of our activities was to buy Evie her first children's book in German. It was a really cute foam, green flip book with a froggie on the front and a story that I could probably decipher even without understanding the German. Upon arriving in our apartment, I showed the book to our landlady, thinking she'd appreciate the German thing. But later that night, as we were cleaning up toy debris and heading to bed, the green book was nowhere to be found. Did our landlady take it, thinking it was a gift? Odd. Not sure if we ask her or not? Whatever...on to the good stuff.

Today, after sleeping until 10:30 am, we all woke up with smiles and less puffy eyes. After some delicious Viennese bread and butter and fruit for breakfast, Jeffrey and I packed some snacks for our girl and headed out for our first adventure. We were giddy to walk away from our abode on Khungasse and see what our new city had in store for us. Evie was content in her stroller, taking in the cool city vibe and watching cars, people, and beautiful Viennese architecture pass by her. We traveled down towards Fassangasse, a major street two blocks from our house with supermarkets, coffee shops and resturants a plenty. We spotted a suitable coffee spot, got our fix, and then proceeded towards Rennweg - the street that connects you to the lower region of the Belvedere gardens and museums. What a stunning jewel! Fountains, statues, flowers, and plenty of gravel paths for Evie to run amok. Many pictures ensued. We started to get hungry so we exited via the Prinz-Eugen Strasse area and walked passed many international consulate buildings until we stumbled upon a Greek restaurant. None of the waiters spoke Greek or English and they didn't have avgolemono soup. How does a Greek restaurant miss that? This obviously upset Evie too, who refused to try Daddy's burger stuffed with feta or my keftedes with tzatiki. The meal was quick, and Evie napped immediately upon resting in her stroller. We then went to "Billa" and got groceries. EVERYONE in Vienna brings bags to the grocery store, I may add. Kudos to us for remembering to bring some from NC. Signing off for now as we thinking of what to do in part two in the afternoon...I promise I won't be this detailed every time. One last thing: Evie said "DONE" today after eating her second lunch. After "dada" I guess "done" is her first word. Not so exciting, is it?
