Last couple things before classes start

K:

Today we needed to pay our power bill, before they cut us off. We weren't exactly sure what to do because the forms we got in the mail are ALL German. The other day when we were out shopping we saw a Wien Energie location, so we made our way over to Mariahilf Strasse today. We got there and didn't actually have to pay it yet, but the lady helped us fill out our forms properly and told us how to pay it at the end of the month. That was all we have planned for the day, so this is what we saw after. 

This is a really yummy pizza place we found. We were near here the other day (on Tuesday) and it smelled SO good, but we settled for Austrian McDonald's chicken nuggets because our curiosity got the best of us. This is the Della Cassa pizza we ordered today. It was good!

It was rainy today, so good thing we had our little umbrella. This is a 6euro umbrella we bought when we got stuck in the rain shopping in Der Graben after Stephansdom. 

Cool fun fact of today: Miriahilfstrasse (the shopping street from week one, and location of Wien Energie) links up with Museums Quartier (the place we took pictures of those GORGEOUS buildings on Tuesday the 13th). If we'd just walked 100m more either of those days we would have seen it, but we never did. Until this afternoon, we bumped into the pizza shop again and put the two together. It was fun. I feel like I'm getting to know the city a bit more, piece by piece. 

Anyway, so we wondered back into and around Museums Quartier for a little bit. We found this fun little yellow building and Eric just had to see what was inside. I bugged him at first, but I'm glad he did.

Everything in and around this building is yellow. The chairs, the tables the cabinets. Everything. It was cool. It's actually just a little promotional booth for one of the banks. They have iPads you can use in there and all kinds of free stuff. We talked to them for a few minutes about Vienna and they gave us some cool stuff like little subway maps, and light up pens, and a student planner...AND these drinks. We love them now. They're much like ginger ale, but BETTER. It's an Austrian specialty and we certainly enjoyed it. It's called Almdudler. We'll have to spend some time searching the super markets and restaurants for more of it before we leave. 

I love you little yellow umbrella.

Eric is right now in his very first class at school. German class!
