Another Fun Day!
Today I woke up nice and late and headed over to the Museumsquartier, where I checked my e-mail and uploaded blogs and photos. After that I walked home, which took me far less time than I anticipated....I wandered down a couple of side streets and got some nice photos....my favorite little steret was Papagenogasse, which led down to the Theater an der Wien, on which there was a statue of a bird-man (possibly Papageno, I guess...) After that I was a stone's throw away from the Naschmarkt, which I decided to walk down even though I knew everything would be closed. It was really really cool.....all the shops boarded up and so on....I took many photos, and there were definitely at least 3 other photographers there taking advantage of some of the cool shots. It was pretty funny....I kept turning corners and seeing the same guys shooting....after stopping in a park to dump photos, I continued down the Naschmarkt and eventually got home.
Soon after I returned home, Mike and one of the girls who lives upstairs invited me to go to Schönbrunn with them, so I tagged along. It was amazingly gorgeous.....an absolutely HUGE estate. I think it used to be the imperial summer home, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, we were there for about 1 1/2 hours walking around, taking pictures, and taking in all the beauty. We still didn't get a chance to see all the grounds....I guess I'll just have to go back! After a long wait at the U-bahn (the ticket machine was being amazingly slow.....it took more than 10 minutes for 7 people to get their tickets) we went back home to cook dinner. After a quick trip to the Egyptian Man on the corner to pick up a few more eggs, onions, and some bread, we cooked a delicious meal of eggs, ham, french toast, and fried potatoes. Wow it was really, really good.....there's nothing like some eggs with ham, peppers, and onions to satiate you after a long day of hardly anything to eat. So....that was my day. It was tons of fun, and I took scads of pictures. When I go to the institute or MQ tomorrow I'll upload them all.
