Some of my words describe the appearance of the city, but many relate to tastes and smells (rye, pork, Radler, etc). The last two words may seem a little vague, but upon getting back to America I realized that I was used to no air conditioning. Also, I did more walking in Vienna than I ever have before, so that's why that word is there. As far as refinement goes, that's a word that I think fits the first district of the city, with all its elaborate architecture, and a lot of the people you see there. Europe in general seems to be more environmentally conscious than America. We saw lots of windmills, there was always the option to separate your trash, and you had to buy your own bags at the grocery store.
I think tastes and smells will most vividly evoke memories for me, so whenever I have a Radler or a great cappuccino or a really strong white wine, I'll think of Vienna.
