  In 1998, Steph and I had the opportunity of a lifetime.  I was asked to move to Vienna, Austria to manage a project that was in trouble.  The project was not much fun, but living in Vienna sure was.  We met some great people and saw a lot of wonderful sights.  We visited all of the countries around Austria over the course of the eight months that we lived there, hiked in the mountains and WeinerVald, and cycled all over - including a four day trip down the Danube from Passau, Germany to Vienna.
