Dienstag und Mittwoch

Tuesday

Tuesday was spent with family. It is tradition for all the cousins to come together when a family member visits from America. We met at the winery in Andau; it is owned by the family of one of my cousins. It is called Hannes Reeh. The wine made here is very popular and is sent all over Austria.







Wednesday

Today was a travel day. We started by traveling to Steinberg, Burgenland. One of the two remaining Blaudruck workshops in Austria is located here. This is traditional Burgenländische fabric, the print is stamped on the fabric and then it is dyed. It’s always Indigo blue.






We stopped at McDonalds to get the car charged! All of my cousins drive electric cars! Check out this McDonalds. They have special coffee and desserts!



On to Sopron in Hungary. This is one of my favorite cities to visit, especially the old part of town. 






We stopped in two wonderful shops. One was filled with Hungarian needlework (I forgot to take a picture inside.) The other shop was filled with Hungarian spices, olive oil, and more. I bought some Paprika and Gulasch spice mix.








And when in Sopron, must do like everyone else and stop for “ein Kaffee”. 



Will leave you with some photos from the local grocery store in Andau - “Billa”.
