The city of inspiration

When traveling from Germany to Austria make an effort to look out the windows. You will glimpse the large bedded sandstone cliffs that have been home people for hundreds of years. The locals learned how to utilize the cliffs and built their houses into the cliffs and coves along the river which gives the area a feeling unlike that in most Europe. It's bonkers. Upon. Arival in Vienna and a quick gift of money to some lost vermont boys we went to our hostel. Walking the streets I could hear mozarts sweet symphonies forming in my head. Vienna has harbored the likes of mozart, beethoven, schubert, Brahms, Freud, and now a suburban goof from Texas. Basically, there are classy people in Vienna. Who else does a city wide waltz on new years eve. I spent most of the day at the natural history museum, which had great tourmaline specimins. Make note to buy a ticket for he subway or else you have to pay seventy euro to a man that is dressed like a normal citizen. He was legitimate but it was a frustrating experience. Made some improved spaghetti. Interaction with people is difficult because of the language barrier. The city is filled with tourists but moat places were closed because the church was celebrating the ascension of Jesus. Tomorrow we are off to Prague which everyone raves about.
Love you David
