Vienna, Austria

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.
