Day 48-Austria, Vienna

Museums are incredible things...and true to its name (house of the muses), I really do feel inspired each time we visit one (guess it's good I don't get sick of them!). Today we went to the Kunsthistorisches museum and spent all day looking at Northern Renaissance (both Dutch and Flemish), Northern Baroque (around today's Belgium and the Netherlands), and also a bit of Caravaggio and his followers. Actually there were a whole lot more than I just mentioned, but you get he picture. It was a lot of art that made me really, really happy. :)

In the evening, we took the tram up to the Vienna woods for FHE where I enjoyed a great view of the city. Random note: The trees made me want to go camping. :) It was very pretty and a great change of scenery from the usual city life.

For dinner, we went to a nice restaurant in the middle of this cute touristy area halfway up the mountain. I had traditional Austrian schnitzel which was pretty good. I really enjoy trying traditional food from all the places we travel to, it's definitely an important part of the experience! Sorry I didn't take a picture of it...it was gone before I even thought about it ;)

And that's how I feel about the days. They pass so quickly it's crazy to think I'm already been with this group for a week! Can't wait for more :) Tschuss!
