So for my Grandmother's birthday I promised her a new update! So here we go!
After my sisters left I knew it was time to go full force into exploration mode. One of my first extra excursions was to Eisenstadt, a town about an hour south of Austria. Why Eisenstadt? This was where Haydn lived and worked! It was so cool to see the palace I've only read and heard about as well as the church that he worked in. I also happened to run into a beautiful Christmas market where I got some great Austrian food. Another great purchase was an Austrian Cookbook! So have no fear, I will make Austrian food when I come home...once I translate the German :-/
I actually haven't seen many concerts lately. The funny thing about going so often is that sometimes they replay everything you've already seen. However, I did go see Peter Pan in the Burgtheater auf Deutsch! Of course I couldn't understand everything but it was still enjoyable. I also got to go to the Albertina. It is a breathtaking art museum that I have been dying to go to. It had a lot of modern artists but I really enjoyed it. The next day I ventured over to Heiligenstadt to visit the house where Beethoven wrote a very famous document called the Heiligenstadt Testament. It was actually quite a beautiful area!
Also random...I went to a Pakistani Buffet with Rosa today. It was delectable...AND ONLY 5 EUROS!
For the next day or two I'm trying to focus on getting all my papers and work out of the way. I'm really hoping to enjoy the last 10 days or so just exploring and soaking up my last bit of time here. I really can't believe how quickly it's gone.
