Day 15: Vienna

 

Hot off the press: THB and DB are considering buying a piece by the now red-hot Venice Biennale Japanese artist, Ei Arakawa-Nash. He's getting a lot of press for his interactive installation with over 200 baby dolls. {ed. note: Valentina - have you seen this one yet?}

Today: A great museum visit (many pics), a walk through a famous food/flea market, some gallery shopping, perfect weather, and our main courses came in a reasonable time after our appetizer.
