postcards on hold

greuss gott...

that means hello god... which is how germans/viennese greet each other... the things you learn.

After a day walking around Munich (with nothing open) we went on to Prague... Simply crossing the border was something amazing. The transporation was a little spottier, things got more chaotic... we couldn't find our hostel because of so much construction in the city. But we finally arrived... and it was something else! The sky opened up and the setting sun put just the right light onto the city. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! We wandered and found a little Dali exhibit, had a Czech pilsner, some goulasch and did our best at understanding. On Wednesday we toured the palace gardens, found more parks, and fixed our own dinner in the hostel.

Yesterday we arrived in Vienna, to another beautiful day. The city is surprisingly modern, apparently being rebuilt a lot after the war (we found that out at an architecture museum). We went the die Hause der Musik and played with a bunch of interactive exhibits about sound and music... a total blast. Today we went to see more palace gardens, wandered around a garden maze, saw an awesome exhibit of this guy.... Hundertwasser... kind of Keith Haring meets Gaudi... and hopped on and off the tram to our hearts content.

Tomorrow we go to Graz for the day then the night in Ljubljana.

So I have a few video postcards ready and on my laptop but haven't gotten a way to put them online yet. They may just have to wait until I'm back in the U.S. Apologies.

and the adventure continues...
