Sunday... in Vienna
Hey everybody,
We started the day with a delightful breakfast in the hotel, then went on a crazy tour of the town. As we went back and forth around central Vienna we stopped and sang in various churches or acoustically fun spots (if others have mentioned a dome/arch dealy, that would be what I'm talking about). We toured the Opera house, and then several of us went back that evening to watch Peter Grimes, which was mediocre, but hey, its the Vienna Opera, and because we stood in the back it was less than five dollars.
Probably tons of other stuff happened yesterday, but I'm hating the german keyboards right now, the z and y are switched and it ruins everzthing. Anyways, during the day we mostly wandered around Vienna when not officially touring the place, hit up cafes and pubs at various hours of the day or evening (I personnally ate at a pizzeria for lunch, then dinner was split between a cafe snack of coffee and then beer and a pretzel after the opera). The food here is wonderful... everything here is wonderful: art everywhere, music, crazy street performers that also tended to be mediocre (a puppeteer had a 3 minute routine he repeated for at least 4 hours!). But overall, good times. Some folks went to Mass in St. Peters, where we later sang a few tunes. Its a gorgeous baroque church. A lot of our time was spent around St. Stephen's as well.
Okaz, I'm done with this kezboard. All in all, everzone's having fun, and this a great place. I'd never been to Europe, but I'm certainlz loving it. Hope everzthing in the states is going fabulous, au revoir (i don't speak german at all),
