Day 49-Austria, Vienna

Today we saw a mini Versailles! Ok. Actually it was very mini, but was still pretty impressive since I haven't seen the actual Versailles yet. I took this picture of me in front of the Belvedere at the beginning of the estate (not including the lower palace). It was fun to wind our way up towards the palace where we saw some beautiful Klimt an Schiele pieces. I loved their use of color as emotion and the dazzling ornamentation Klimt's known for (His Kiss was blissful ;) )

Going off an adorable shopkeeper's instructions, a few of us decided to be adventurous and attempt to find this market we heard about from some natives. After a good 20 minutes of walking for a bit, then stopping and asking for directions, then walking with more confidence, we finally found it! There was so much incredible looking food (breads, meat, fruits, and vegetables) it was amazing! I was proud that I only caved for some dried fruit (ginger is really strong...trust me) and baklava because I could't resist. Who can? Ok. And I also bought an apple strudel for later that was super good. :D

After the market, I decided to hang around the central part of town where I eventually got some fish n'chips on the way home :) Later in the evening when I was watching some American movie with German dubbing (it gets pretty entertaining when you've only got the actors' intonations and actions to go off of...especially when the commercials come around), I kept hearing bits and pieces of a concert across the street. Come to find out, it's Snow Patrol. No big deal, they only play one of my favorite songs...oh, Vienna :D It's been a good night. Tschuss!
