Taste of Africa.. in Austria.

Well today has been a very busy day and my stomach is extremely full of Nigerian food.  Anda and Marc have a cabby that they use here on a normal basis, and he happens to be from Ghana.  After speaking to him briefly about my experience with African Culture in Boulder he invited us over to his home for a meal.  How lucky am I?!  He picked us up around 2pm and we drove to the outskirts of Vienna to some of the original homes that were invaded by the Nazi Regime... which might I remind you that today is the anniversary of the end of WW II.  The apartments were fixed income but quite nice, they looked like barracks though.  But anyway, back to the meal.  AMAZING!!! It was so magnificent.  We had these spicy beans and plantains, hardboiled eggs wrapped in a thin bread, potato patties with onions, beef and onion (kind of like an empanada), annnddddd then ebi which is a polenta with some spinach and yams with beef.... so much food.  The family was so awesome and I am so thrilled that I was able to be a part of their day.  

Now I am off to Venice and hopefully staying here:
