Erin's trips

I forgot to say I sat in the balcony for Don Carlo well stood, i think i liked it up there better. Itis easier to sit when you get tired and its not as crowded, cant see the bottom corner of the stage unless you get there really early but its not to bad.
So yesterday I went to Belvadere Castle. It was a lot different than the Schonbrunn. The grounds were a lot smaller and not as impressive (they were working on the fountain though). Then there are 2 buildings, the lower palace has a bunch of more contempory art didnt like most of it there were a few good ones though and there was a salvador dali that i liked. That building was under construction though so zyou couldnt really see the outsidfe of it. Then the upper palace had soe really cool rooms and a way more interesting gallery. They had some medeval works and sculptures as well as Monet, Manet, Rubens, Renoir, Munch, Klimt (the kiss and judith) and David (the one with napoleon on the horse). Its kind of nice that I took art history and acctually understand what those were.
Then I went to Stephansdome it was very different than Karlskirche but they had these whute decorative sheet things up that kinda of just wrecked it.
And then last I went to the Volksoper to see Orpheus in der Unterwelt. I got really cheap sitting tickets so i didnt have to stand for the 4th night in a row so i couldnt see the a big chunk on the bottom part of the stage but at least i didnt have to stand. It was good though, really funny and really good acting even if the singing wasnt as good.
Then today I went to Slovakia for the day. Went up to the castle wich of course was under construction and you couldnt go in, but the view was really good. Then i just walked around the old town for a while it was nice. It was cool how differnt it is arcitchturally and langage and everything but its only an hour away.
