adventures in the city alone
4:45 I didn't do too bad on my first venture out alone. I went to the Jewish Museum, it was ok. I went back to Stephandom and saw it in the day, it's even nicer than I thought. I got to down into the catacombs where they have the crypts of cardinals and priests. It was creepy, because the caskets are just sitting there along the walls, but that is nothing. The preist not so much because they are in the walls, with a stone covering them. In these crypts is also where the imperial family the Hapsburgs are buried well some of them. The is a room of caskets, but going into the room is a hallway with urns with entrails from other family members. Gross, then even further there is a general burial room where the caskets have disintigrated and mostly bones. There is another room where there are bones from the black plague (I forgot to mention that yesterday I saw a statue in honour of the plague.) In another room the bones are lined up like bricks, it's pretty weird, but not in a bad way. I got to see where Mozart received his last rights. I also saw the National Library and Spanish Riding School ( I didn't see the horses though.) I have also seen the Opera House. I should aslo mention that the design on the back of euros can be different, depending on what country it is from. That's pretty cool. There are lights hanging in the middle of the street, which I like. The transit system is cool because there is the bus, subway and street car and you only need one ticket for all of them, but you can basically ride for free because they don't check. So that was my afternoon. Kind of embarassed when my pop spilled when I was at McDonalds. The McChicken tastes different here, but it is good. Oh yeah when I got on the bus, this guy tried to sit beside me on a wide one seat, and this other guy started yelling at him on my behalf. A little freaky but ok.
