Dear Anne Frank,

Today, Sunday, wasn’t the day to do a metro watch at all, so I decided to do a ‘city’ watch as we walked through the city from station to station and museum to museum.

There were people just walking and talking on cell phones, runners running, groups of folks talking and walking down the street, big groups of school tours, people dressed nicely walking to or from work, and the general tourists.  I just took notice of everyone around us, no one in particular.

I can probably speak for everyone when I say that I, more than usual, take moments like that for granted. We are always in such a hurry to get to point A to point B in our life that we never really stop to take a look around us and appreciate it. And, you never know when you’re going to make a stranger’s day by saying hi or smiling at them when you pass by.

Standing at the Vienna metro station, waiting for our shuttle to pick us up, I looked back upon the good time that we had Saturday and today. I hated to leave.

Your friend, 
Karen-Maeby
