I miss you terribly. The sight of you keeps popping up in my head even after all these years and I can’t shake the feeling that you still have much more to offer than what I actually got to know about you. You were the first Austrian city I stepped into, and I immediately fell in love.

The year was 2006 and we were just stopping by for a short stay as we were on our journey towards the Netherlands. On a hot August evening we dined and afterwards walked around the little city. I remember your small cobble-stoned streets, your representative houses with their unique architectural styles, the mix of warm colors and friendly faces surrounding us. I remember the hot summer breeze that blew in our faces in the dusk as lovely music swell from the terraces. The perfect atmosphere. I was so awestruck by you, that I only have one single photographic token of you.

But this photo just can’t reflect your true colors. So I have to go back. I need to take another one, which does you justice, or maybe even a video, to reflect your true atmosphere.

Until we meet again, be sure to stay just the way you were back then. Clean, intimate, friendly and vivid. Hope to see you soon!
