In a nutshell
Lovely old town by the Danube river!
For those of you who have visited my hometown page (Northfield, MN) you know that I am a patron of an establishment (pub) known as the Contented Cow. Those of us who are regulars, take a ceramic Contented Cow mug on travels around the world. We then take pictures of ourselves and the mug against a scenic and preferably well-known backdrop (think Venice canals, Big Ben, Eifel Tower etc). Since I am obtuse, I took my photo with the mug at the most obscure spot on the journey.

Favorite thing: Look at the mist nestling among the hills on either side of the Danube. This type of view is what makes an early morning hike all worthwhile. To me, there is nothing more mysterious than veils of mist hugging hills in faint light. It stirs some romantic notions in me--I'm not sure I can adequately articulate the feeling, but the fog seems to prevent a clear view of the countryside, thus opening up endless possibilities for those shrouded hillsides.
