Hey everyone, it is
the first day of July and our last in Vienna. We started out with
a good breakfast and set off for some of the buildings Dad wanted
to see. They were mainly Otto Wagner and Loos buildings. We climbed
up the bell tower of the St Stephens church, all 320 steps. The first
building that I was really wowed by was a Jesuit church. Dad had read
about the church in his book, and although we had a hard time finding
it, it was worth it. It was huge with some really funky faux-marble
twisting columns.After a good lunch of pizza we went to my favorite
building so far, an Otto Wagner post office. It was a really distinctive
building, with a cool pattern on the sides and a giant skylight in
the main room. We then hurried back to the Opera to get a tour only
to see that the tour was actually scheduled for tomorrow. We thought
of going on another walk but instead we retired for the afternoon.
Margot, Mom, and I decided to try one of the Starbucks that has recently
arrived in Vienna. I had a really good coffee frappachino, and we
all enjoyed the no-smoking rule. From there I split off and went to
a Ferrari dealer I saw nearby. I took some pictures and oogled over
the cars.
