After checking-in and putting down our luggage and exploring every nook and cranny of our rooms, we hurriedly went out because shops in Vienna were closing in a few minutes.
The Sofitel is not near but not so far from the tourist area. It’s still a good 10 minute walk to the cathedral. We have to cross the Danube River, more like a canal because it’s narrower at this portion.
Just like in most cities in Europe, the tourist area in Vienna is located around Stephansdom or St. Stephen’s Cathedral that’s why our direction is towards the church.
The shops in Vienna close at 7 pm. We barely had time to walk to the Cathedral
We thought that white building in the middle is another church.
When you see, hear, smell horse’s weewee, you know you’re near the dome.
The cathedral’s grounds is parking for dozens of horse carriages who thrive on tourists who have tired feet. Going around several blocks from Stephansdom on a horse is a relaxed and romantic way to enjoy a city tour.
See?
Streams of tourists flock to the church. To pray, to usyoso, to buy souvenirs, to take photos. I was not in the mood actually. I came here to make three wishes. For the same things.
I actually thought of installing checkered tiles in our auxiliary kitchen but I wasn’t sure how it would look like. I found them nice.
The Mother of Perpetual Help is also someone that I ask help from whenever I am in distress. In Tagalog, she’s Ina ng Laging Saklolo. The name says it all. PLease come to my rescue.
I actually had difficulty enjoying our remaining stay in Europe specifically this last leg. I discovered we have big problems and they’re just too heavy on the shoulders. I felt just kneeling down and weeping. The heavy burden was lifted a bit when I found a box for prayer requests inside the church.
Door to door delivery of my letter to God.
SOS God.
