I haven't had a chance to blog since Salzburg, so I have included 2 cities in this post. Vienna was good to me. I went to the Opera 2 nights in a row and it was magic. I read The Great Gatsby in it's entirety one sunny afternoon with a bottle of wine, Chinese noodles, and beautiful buildings all around me. Witnessed a magnificent performance at the Spanish Horse Riding school and sampled Sacher Cake (a chocolate torte with apricot jam) at Cafe Mozart. All in all I loved every minute of my time there. Especially since I found a book store that sells books in English! I didn't pack any books because I thought they weigh too much... but I have missed them so.
The train ride to Prague was long but well spent, as I read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. When I arrived I was blown away by the beauty of this place. The buildings, the castles, the churches... all of it breathtaking. I spent the next three days walking until my feet couldn't walk anymore and eating all the delicious street food I could stomach. I love Prague. It is tied with Florence as my favorite city of the trip. I hope you will all one day get to experience it as I have this week.
I was giddy with joy when I saw this fresh juice bar! Ahh! Heaven!
While in Vienna, the 2013 Life Ball was there. Sadly I couldn't afford the tickets, but I hear it is an amazing event for the Aids Foundation. Bill Clinton was there apparently.
Sigmund Freud's house.
The view from where I read The Great Gatsby.
Sacher Cake... it was pretty tasty.
You aren't allowed to take pictures at the Opera, but I did anyway.

They were singing Georgia On My Mind
The Czech love their sausages.
