Vienna

We just got back from the Vienna Opera. We were able to get cheap, cheap standing room tickets to see Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier — 3.50 Euros (or about $4.50) a piece, and it was excellent. The opera house is beautiful, the music was excellent (very Viennese) and the singing was superb!

Earlier today we did a tram tour of the Ringstrasse — around the perimeter of the old town — and we toured the Hofburg Palace Imperial Apartments — lots of silver, fine porcelain and glassware, and large, richly furnished rooms!

And, Vienna has its Christmas Market shops set up in front of their beautiful, Gothic Rathaus (City Hall).  So, we spent some time walking through the market and having some erdbeerpunsch and a pastry.

Time to sleep; it’s after 11.
