My good friend Pete finally made it to Vienna, albeit on a business trip. He was engaged in some very important meetings at the UN while he was here, and I’m pretty sure he solved some pretty major crises…like finding out what the Dutch delegate likes on a pizza. What’s that? Tuna fish and onions? Yikes! She can have her own…and, fortunately for her, Austria can accommodate her.
Every time I’m with Pete we end up searching for a putt putt course at some point, and this time was no different. Unlike other occasions we successfully located a course in the Prater. It was a bit rundown and lacked grass or a grass-like surface except on Hole 7 where we had to literally drive the ball over or through some roughly cut grass in order to get to the “green.” And the “greens” were little more than red-painted concrete. Nevertheless, there were some very challenging and fun holes and we had a good time.
I’m not really sure what Pete would consider more productive: his UN meetings or the putt putt game…well, actually I do know. But I’ll plead the 5th just in case Condi or W is reading this blog. I wouldn’t want Pete to lose his cushy government job.
Putt putt pics can be found here.
Enjoy!
As I’ve mentioned before, playing in a softball league in Austria is pretty entertaining. Last year, we saw a man playing in lederhosen and this year we played a team whose Center fielder was wearing shin guards to start the game.
After running the full Marathon last year, I was ready for a little less running this time around.
