Kiddersitting

My Art class is literally the best. We have gone to places in Vienna now for three days straight. Other classes are left to sweat in the musty classrooms, but we visit all over the city.

Our destination today was the Kunsthistorisches Museum. It was awesome to say the least. We spent two hours on only the first floor of the museum. We looked at the ancient art. Specifically, my professor focused on the changing depiction of the human body. There were so many pieces of art that I would have loved to own. It took us two hours to get through only one floor and we are making two more trips there before the end of the class. I am excited to see what else they have on the other floors.

After a long day of walking, Alex, Trevor, and I went to a cafe for lunch. The little cafe sat on the outskirts of the Museum Quartier. This little courtyard area is a very popular hangout for younger people. It has big, colorful benches and cafes that surround it. It is a perfect place for me to sit and get some internet. It was nice to just sit and relax while watching the hustle and bustle pass by.

The rest of the night, Alex and Trevor and I watched the kids for a while. They are just too cute. I know that some people might think we are silly for being with the kids instead of walking around the city, but I still think that we are getting a cultural experience. Our experience is just a little different. My German is definitely happy with these experiences that we are having with the kids. We also came up with a schedule of exactly we want to do for the next two weeks. We need to come up with a plan for our weekend off. Trevor really wants to go to Rome and it would only work out if we can find a cheap enough flight or train.

Tomorrow we are leaving for Salzburg and it is going to be very long weekend. I can’t wait!
