I cannot believe I have just 3 weeks left in Vienna...this is nuts! I have done so many amazing things lately. I'm worried I won't be able to get to everything in this city alone!
The Staatsoper has had some amazing operas lately. I've seen two parts of the Ring Cycle by Wagner, Salome by Strauss, Barber of Seville, and Tännhauser to name a few. I feel like the opera is probably the place I go the most here. I love it! I've also been able to see 2 Vienna Philharmonic concerts and 2 Vienna Boys Choir Masses. I am living it up here, and loving it! Did I also mention I saw Sister Act the musical in German?
It is quite cold here, but the Christmas decorations make it all that better. There are so many Christmas Markets, and punsch stands everywhere you turn. But the little shops are so cute and the food is to die for. I have to restrain myself from only eating pastries!
I also had the amazing opportunity to have my sisters here this past weekend for Thanksgiving. It was so awesome to have our first international exploration together! We got to see a ton of sights, enjoy some great food (including a Thanksgiving dinner), go to Christmas markets and just spend quality time together. It was hard to see them go today, but luckily I'll be seeing them and everyone else in a bit.
Tomorrow's a new day with more exploring! Here we go!
