And We're Still Going...and going...and going.

We are in Vienna now and the time is 6:30pm. We arrived after our eight hour flight around 9am and probably only got an hour of sleep on the plane ride. Our plan was to tour Vienna for the day, and we, minus a certain Georgian who was denied a visa by a "surly immigration official described as a Desperate Housewife by the staff", enjoyed our jaunt throughly. Of course, that meant trekking all over the city with barely any sleep, barely surviving between coffee breaks.

Lunch was eventful as no one could think straight and the fact that the wait staff could
only speak German was a bit of a setback. We relied mostly on Christina's broken German to make it through the meal plus a lot of pointing and blank cow-like stares from the rest of us.

Finally, we killed an hour at "that museum" (The Leopold Museum) where Jacob fell asleep in the gift shop. We were able to catch our second wind when the four of us had a very amusing conversation with a couple of British people in the elevator up to the exhibits. We spent the remainder of the hour sitting on the bench, leaning up against each other as we discussed how color played a key part in certain paintings, etc. Yeah, Magnet students to the core. We may be dropping like flies but heaven forbid that we return to the airport and not go visit a couple of art museums!

We finally made it back to the airport around 5:20-ishpm, cleaned up a bit and settled back down for the three hour wait until our next flight to Georgia (at last)! We plan to get there around 4:50 am and hit the ground running. I don't think any of us will have trouble sleeping on the way over there ^^;
