Today was all sightseeing, so I won't go into too much detail about all the rooms of palaces I walked through or the paintings on the ceiling of the opera house. But a few quick notes (and pictures!):
My mom (re)arrived today! She'll be with me throughout our travels in Vienna, Salzburg, and Prague.
On the way back from the Mozart concert we saw tonight, we passed a film screening in a park near our hotel. They were showing "Atlantic Drift," a documentary about World War II-era Jews who fled from Vienna and Bratislava to board ships headed for Palestine. We didn't stay for the whole thing, but it was interesting that they were showing a movie like this in the park! I wish I knew which group organized the screening. Anyway, tomorrow we're seeing all the Jewish sites in Vienna, so I'll definitely write more after that. For now, enjoy the pictures!
