Vienna 1/30/10

Today we visited the Belvedere Gallery, which is a gigantic property with huge wrought-iron gates, a large decorative pool out front, and grand grounds (albeit snow-covered for the season) out back. There was a room inside where if you yelled the acoustics caused the echoes to sound like deep breathing or hushes. While checking out the art in another wing, I almost missed everyone as they headed back for the bus, but luckily made it back in time.

For lunch we went to the Naschmarkt, which is like the farmer’s market of Vienna. Kebabs for 3 € were especially tasty and filling Afterwards we toured the nearby Saturday flea market where I picked up an old butane lighter. The seller was asking for 5 €, but I bartered him down to 4.
