mit schlag

Lots to be thankful for.  Sometimes i look around at the crue when the light is striking the buildings right and it is good.  How did we get here? Also, how bad can things be when u know there will be a hot whipped cream situation around the bend.

Lots of Picasso at the Albertina yesterday.  Some epic arms/armor (better than the met.  Speaking of the Met, clare just finished From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler   One of my top ten of all time)  and antique musical instruments at some other museum the day before.  People really were into making their weapons beautiful.   Ben took seemingly thousands of pics. Will people five hundred years for now find our missile launchers attractive?  More gearing up for the cold mongolian steppes.  inexpensive shearling mittens and more boiled wool.  Naturally ben continues to stroll around town in his shirtsleeves much to the chagrin of his parents, grandmother and viennese society.  This place takes it's clothing really seriously.

Finally made it to the elusive konditerai (something like a cafe--but different).  Also had a nice dinner at the Central cafe.  Old and beautiful.  Who knew that Ben would eschew his plain ravioli and scarf my beef goulash.  In theory we have rented a car to drive to Salzburg tonight.  Now if there is only some room at the inn.
