Museum Quarter: check.  Spanish Riding School: check.  Demel Bakery: check.  People watching in the park: check.  Picture with the Mozart statue: check.  Free Bach concert: check.  Rathaus: check.  Yep, Vienna and I are getting along just fine.  This morning and into this afternoon I spent at the Museum Quarter where I went to the Leopold Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. 
Not really sure that I am into or understand modern art, I just don't see the aesthetic value of a torn up piano that you aren't allowed to play with.  But it was a good museum and I was glad that I went. 
After I was museumed out, and my legs were worn out I went into the city center and got an amazing baguette sandwich and ate it in the park while enjoying the sunshine.  I people watched for a while and saw a guy juggling who was really good. 
After my legs had rested enough I went on the hunt for the Mozart Statue.  And I was successful.  Then I went and saw the Rathaus (city hall) and some other big impressive building.  Actually that describes most of the buildings that I have seen in Vienna.
Tomorrow my train leaves for Zurich at nine at night. In the morning I will go and check out the Schloss Schoenbrunn.  I have heard that the gardens are pretty spectacular.
