Back in Vienna

Train ride from Prague to Vienna left 45 minutes late, (Amtrak like?) but otherwise was uneventful. We lucked out and had a compartment to ourselves most of the way. The other seats were reserved, but no one showed up. Yea!

It kind of feels like coming home to Vienna. We're back in the same apartment building, but in a different unit. This one is a little bigger and with a better view, but was actually a little cheaper. Go figure! And also back to the noise of being in a downtown area. Anyway, we didn't need to spend a day getting our bearings or figuring things out, we just went for it.

A day at the Museum of Natural History. It's one of those old-timey ones, built in the 1800's specifically to house the exhibits. The building and the display cases are every bit as impressive as the displays themselves, sometimes more so. There is very little interactive about it. It's the old style of static exhibits, meant for you to look at and admire. But there is so much of it, you don't really have time for much else. We spent the whole day, even having lunch in the museum cafe. With beer!

Not a bad place for lunch, eh?

Spending the evenng at "home" planning our LAST TWO DAYS! I can't believe its coming to an end. I think I will sleep for a week when we get back. We're both kind of running out of gas. Planning is a better option than TV anyway. We only get one English speaking channel - CNN. Although it is kind of amusing to watch American sitcoms and reality shows where they are all speaking German!

And because we didn't see one today, here's the 2nd bride from Saturday night. Can't do without one now!
