Johanna, a friend of mine from Germany, came to visit this past weekend, and we spent the weekend touring the city and catching up. She sends her greetings to those of you she knows at UNT. On Saturday night, we went to Poncho, a
Mexican restaurant in the 2nd district. They have a very short happy hour, from 6-7 PM, but the cocktails are half price. The two glasses on the table are from their "Very Long Island Iced Teas," and they mix them correctly. I'll just leave it at that! I've taken quite a few
pictures from Schönbrunn, but here's one more anyway! It's taken from the back of a fountain looking at the rear of the palace. I tried to talk Johanna into actually getting in the fountain to take the picture, but she didn't seem to think it was a good idea. On Sunday there was an incredibly strong thunderstorm that lasted about 1.5 hours, and we had just come on the train from Schönbrunn and were headed to the 1st district when it
hit. The rain came down so quickly that some of the Strassenbahn lines were not running. We sat on the number 2 for about an hour waiting for the rain to stop and the train to continue, but even after it finished raining the train was not able to move because of
flooding at the next station. We ended up getting out and walking to Cafe Landtmann for a coffee and some sweets. The next picture is me with the
Burgtheater in the background, one of the oldest and most important theaters in Europe and also the former imperial court theater. The last picture is Johanna sitting by a fountain in front of the Parliament building. The fountain in front depicts Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. Cafe Landtmann, the Burgtheater, and Parliament are all located on the Ring in the 1st district.
