EuroTrip Day 9: Vienna, Austria

We spent the entire day and evening adventuring through the city of Vienna here in Austria. Wow. At this point I’m speechless. The city is marvelous.

We did not get lost once! Super proud of our progress in that department..

The people are so friendly and helpful. Though at times I feel like I’m in an Angelah Johnson ‘Nail Salon’ skit. I understand not a word of the native languages, but I’m pretty sure the exchange is about how I have no idea what is going on or they slip something about “…Americans..” in there. I don’t blame ’em..

I saw my first opera tonight! Right smack in the city center, the opera was live and being specially displayed outdoors on a large screen on the side of the building. Rows of chairs filled the square and it was such an awesome ambiance. The opera was La Traviata; an Italian opera about a prostitute who falls in love with a wealthy man. It was the opera from Pretty Woman, got so lucky! 😍 Posted a tiny snippet of the fully recorded edition.

On our way to Ljubljana, Slovenia tomorrow, we stop to experience Graz- which is also in Austria.
