Where do you want to live?
I did not post this picture to say that I want to live in Vienna. But this is the kind of street that I would love to walk out onto every day. I imagine there are a lot of places like this: one of the guidebooks says there are 1,500 MILES of streets in Vienna.
Maybe if you live in Europe, you are bored with these kind of scenes. But if you are American it captures the charm of Europe perfectly. This street has probably existed in one form or another for hundreds of years - before cars or even carts were considered necessary. You won't find many places like that in America.
And, of course, I am probably romanticising too much - I doubt I would be happy without air conditioning, a big kitchen or a balcony. If you happen to know of something, however, please let me know.
