May 17, 2008 catching up on a post

The Sacking Krewe closes in on its Part One objective: a half-days ride from
Vienna. New and impossible-to-value plunder includes two cakes of soap and a
new plastic soap dish. The team is ecstatic.

Sponsered by Tip Top Tea (The Tea of Record). Our Centurion Blend has been
feared and revered since the last days of the HRE.

Arrived in Tulln today. Warm, flat, buggy ride.

Another city celebrating its Roman past with some leftover pieces of
buildings and a statue of Marcus Aurelius. He also has his own park with
gazebo.

Tulln has an Egon Schiele museum (he was a homie), and a garden with
mosquito ponds. There is an elaborate statue (see photo) of characters from
the Ring complete with fountain.

There is no such thing as just a cookie in this part of the world. The
kokaskuppel (see fig 1), looks like an innocent meringue with a bit of
chocolate on the bottom. But nein! The meringue is mixed with nuts and
coconut. The inside is shredded coconut mixed with cream or marshmallow
(cocoflutter) and the bottom is coated in chocolate with chocolate creme
inside. Our teeth are disintegrating.
