The day had finally arrived for the convention to start. Our hotel, the Renaissance Wien was packed with Witnesses so you can imagine the long line for the breakfast buffet. Although, as you would expect it was very orderly. The few non-Witness guests at the hotel seemed over-whelmed by the crowd. We were instructed to meet at 8:15 a.m. in the lobby where we found several Austrian brothers and sisters with the orange umbrellas who would guide us on the subways to the stadium.
As we got closer to the entrance of the stadium, our brothers and sisters were waiting with welcome banners along the sidewalk. How loving!
The Convention banners displayed proudly.
