My class visited this tower, the Donauturm, yesterday on a field trip. We rode the lift 150 meters to the observation deck and observed a lot of Vienna and the surrounding areas. This tower is just next to the Donau, or the Danube River, that runs through Vienna. The Austrian government requires that all children in school in Austria learn about Austrian history, culture, geography, etc., so we have a special teacher for this each Monday. Her name is Brigitte Condell, and she and her husband actually went to the U2 concert with Chris this past summer. She's Austrian and her husband is Irish. They're great people, and she is completely a volunteer at our school. No money. No support. Just giving. That's it. Oh yeah, there's a revolving restaurant on the top of the tower, and they have a special deal going on now so Chris and I made reservations for Christmas time. Fun!
