Busy Vienna

Hello from Vienna!

Ive got about 20 minutes to type up a quick blog post here, and the apostrophe key isnt working, so bear with me.

Just want to give you all quick little update here. Got to Vienna yesterday and had a fantastic day walking around in the sunshine. I forgot what it felt like to be warm. Vienna is quite nice - I spent the whole day walking around marveling at the massive architecture and clutter of shops along the streets.

Best parts of the day:
1. Stumbling into the beautiful city park (Im almost positive that this is where a bunch of scenes from Before Sunset were filmed - it was such a pretty park and full of people enjoying the sunshine).
2. Cake for lunch.

Vienna is famous for their cream cakes, which are these delicious little treats with alternating layers of cake and whipped cream. Today I had a piece of hazelnut, amazing, and sachertorte is on the agenda for tomorrow.

Which isnt to say that Ive ruled out cake for dinner tonight. Given the (cake) circumstances, I think its best for everyone that I keep moving and dont idle too long in Vienna. So heres the busy agenda for the next few days:
- Tomorrow: Morning in Vienna, afternoon day trip to Bratislava, return to Vienna in the evening (and try to hit up the opera :) )
- Tuesday: Train to Slovenia! SO excited to squeeze this one in. I bought my train ticket today. Am heading toward Ljublijana, the capital, and hope to fit in a day at Bled.
- Friday(ish): Salzburg?
- Monday: Bregenz (to visit Esther!)
- Sometime after that: Munich until Nov. 10

Looks like a LOT, but I think its actually breaking down perfectly. I have two last chances for goulash (Bratislava and Ljublijana) - and then I think Ill have had enough to last me a lifetime. Then Ill probably OD on schnitzels and bratwursts in Austria and Germany. Man, Im going to need to go right past vegetarian and straight to vegan for a few months after I get home.

And one final note - I am finally doing LAUNDRY as we speak. Thank god for that.

Will write from Ljublijana. Bye for now!
