Well hello again, dear peeps. We are back in Wien, and happy about this. Today we visited a phenomenal convent from the 13th C and witnessed some really incredibly maintained medevil artwork from the 12-15th C. All biblical art, all the time. Made me think fondly of my art history class in Madrid in 1997 at the Prado. I've got a thing for those Pieta images...
The convent was amazing! Acoustically, structurally, historically. Left me peaceful, inspired and ready to board a 5 hour train ride back to Wien. Only thing- we didn't bring a camera to the convent. A drag sort of, but it was nice to not deal with a camera for a change. Another detail that was nice: first class cabin on the train. Now THAT is the way to travel. I kept thinking: what if the BART or any other major city transportation system had first class cabins and when you really needed to spruce up your commute for a week, you treated yourself to it?!
Tomorrow, we head to Bratislava, this time, traveling by boat.
Two former USSR block cities in four days. One by train, the other by high speed hydrofoil boat down the Danube. Evie is in a traveling groove. We're all good...and will be ready to head back to the states just as we're planning to leave.
