What a cultured lot we are

Just 24 hours after seeing the ballet in Budapest, we went to the opea in Vienna. Standing room tickets are impossibly cheap so we saw Elektra for about $2. Crazy plot, forgotten by all of us until the play began (Frank thought he remembered but he really just combined about 4 stories into one). There were screens in front of us with English lyrics so we weren't totally lost.
Besides the opera, Vienna was kind of slow. Tim was with us so we had someon new to talk to. I really wanted to go see Gustave Klimt's work that is housed at the Upper Belvedere so Tim and Joe accomplanied me there. 'Judith' looks much different outside of a book. She's very gold. I think it must be the only Judith and Holofernes sceen without blood. We went to Vienna's clock (the numbers are all along the top in a horizontal line and the time marker moves in a line instead of a circle).
To leave Veinna, we had to take a nine hour train ride which was awful. We were in a cabin thing with three Italians and the whole train was pushing 90°. We survived.
