sleeping in!

today i slept until noon and it was absolutely amazing! my alarm went off at 9:45 for breakfast but i said forget that and went back to bed. after waking up, we all got ready by 1 and walked towards the old city area. it was pouring rain and windy, so it was a very entertaining walk, yet miserable. i think my umbrella is the only one that made it the whole way without being destroyed. we stopped at mcdonalds for lunch. i very clearly remembered the mcdonalds from when melanie, dad and i went there years ago so that was fun. it was cool to see a mcdonalds in the middle of such a historic, rustic little main street. nonetheless i was very excited for my fries and chicken nuggets and big diet coke.

after lunch, we walked over to this old hotel to go to this coffee shop. we just took the elevator to the 7th floor and there was this cute little coffee shop that overlooks the whole city! it was so pretty. i got a really yummy hot chocolate and just relaxed with katia, alicia, katy and dan. after that we walked back to the hotel and i read velvet evis for a bit and then took a nap.

tonight, the fields, jen, dan, teri, justin HP, katy, katia, alicia and i went to dinner at the oldest restaurant in europe! it was a dinner and show for mozart's birthday which was today (252 years ago)! the dinner was good- bread and then this lemon cinnamon cream soup. we all agreed that we would never order the soup but it grew on you as you ate it :) i ordered a bottle of water which cost me 6 euros (aka $9), so that was rough but oh well. in between each course a little mini orchestra in old timey costumes played 3 different operas- the magic flute, the marriage of figaro and don giovanni. it was really pretty, the vocalists were amazing too. dinner was chicken, potatoes, veggies and then dessert was really good "half-frozen" honey thing. all really good.

by the end of dinner i was exhausted, we caught a cab home and then teri and i tried to watch the sound of music on tv but it didn't work :( i was pretty much drained by then anyway so i bet i would have fallen asleep anyway. tomorrow will be a relaxing day and i cannot wait!!!!!
