Day 23... We're Off to See Vienna

We left early this morning and packed ourselves in two cars. Dalton, Nicole, Jeff and I in Kelley's Car and everyone else in Jerry's Van. We were luckily because Kelley lets us play music and dance in the car. Before we were going to get to Vienna Jerry had us stop at Melk Abby and oh my goodness absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney took Beauty and the Beast and modeled it after this Abby. First we walked through the Museum, then through the Ball room, then through a GIANT library (Nicole's favorite part), and last through the Cathedral. There was so much to see in this one place. This is my new favorite place.
Then we piled back into the cars and drove to Vienna. The first thing we did was find the Freud Museum. It was really kind of eerie being in the same place where Freud used to analyze people. My camera was stuck in my bag in the car so I didn't take pictures. I'm so sad that I could get any of Melk Abby, but I can try and get a hold of some from others. But the Freud Museum was so different. They had weird post modern art that was influenced by Freud and all I can say is that it was freaky. And made no sense. (at least to me)

After that we found our Hostel and got all situated. When we were driving there we saw a Mexican restaurant and we ALL wanted to go. Trull was down for anything so we decided Mexican tonight. Kelley asked where a great place is and she found a restaurant. She made a reservation and we set off. Well, we walked all over. It was so nice though because we got to see more of Vienna at Night. Once we found the restaurant we ate and it was good! Not the same but still really good.
We headed back to the Hostel and Kelley asked if anyone of us wanted to get Apple Strudel. Um... YES! Apple Strudel is Nicole's favorite so she was up for it. Kelley said they are famous for it here in Vienna. I was excited. But it has a sad ending because we could not find anyone that would sell it, apparently it was to late for Strudel. CRAZY it's NEVER to late! So we just picked a coffee shop and I had BERRY TIRAMISU! YUMM. Although it didn't get very high ratings. (For those who don't know I actually have a chart filled out on where to get the best Tiramisu. There are different gradings like taste, texture, and appearance. I know I'm weird but I like my tiramisu. ) But we will have Apple Strudel tomorrow!

I didn't bring my Laptop but Nicole let me borrow hers. I got to Skype the family which is always fun. But Since it was Superbowl Sunday The Goddards were there. It was good to talk to everyone. I'm sad I miss Superbowl but I still think I'm making out in the deal. A bunch of the guys were sad about missing it but they found a place that was playing it. It's called The DUKE. Picture of it right there. I think they had a lot of Fun although they got home around 4 or 5 o' clock in the morning. WOW. Men being very dedicated to the Superbowl.
TOMORROW:
Sissy Palace
Apple Strudel
Just be in Vienna
Liebe,
Courtney
