Things I've done recently that have BLOWN MY MIND...

1. Stood front row center of parterre for Don Giovanni at the Staatsoper! And could compare that performance to the one I saw a few years back at the Met!

(My view from parterre!)

2. Had my first Kasekrainer. It was just like a really, really, damn good hotdog. And it's filled with cheese. The Viennese even do American food better than Americans. If they sold these at ball games we'd have an obesity epidemic on our hands. Oh wait...


3. Went to Prater and rode the Riesenrad! It's this MASSIVE ferris wheel and makes for a gorgeous view of the entire city! Too bad we rode it AFTER we went on the "Extasy" ride which, in Anna's words, is just a "little bit spinny". We spent most of the time on the Reisenrad trying not to throw up.


(Some cars are set up so you can have a candlelight dinner!)


(Not looking at the view. Just trying not to hurl.)

4. Bought this hat:

(And wore it home on the Straßenbahn.)
