Pictures of our Mexican feast last night.
Yummy guacamole!
Today, Caroline, her rommate Laura, and I went into town to visit the Conservatory where they go to school (Caroline is a singer, Laura plays the recorder, both in Historical Performance. Yes, you can get a degree in playing the Recorder). The building their school is in is based on a piece by Schoenberg. It has five floors representing the five staves and then small portions of each floor jut out to look like musical notes. In theory: awesome, in practice: not so much.
The trams that we've been taking everywhere are clean and fast and in parts of the city they're elevated on beautifully designed tracks.
In the school, there's a statue of Schoenberg (the mascot of their school, I guess) which looks EXACTLY like Han Solo when he's put into Carbon Freeze. The guards yelled at me for taking a photo, but it had to be done.
The city has been pretty gray and rainy since last night, but it's small and quaint and everyone has been very friendly to us, except our waitress at the Chinese place where we had lunch today. When I asked her to break our 10 euros into two 5's she yelled "NO!" and walked away.
Caroline's little apartment has a lovely balcony they share with the Thai Prostitutes next door. A family with little children lives on the other side and we currently have their baby monitor on the table in the living room as their parents are out to dinner. The architecture isn't all that exciting, but every once in a while, something nice shows itself.
Tonight we are going out in the city center with Caroline's Danish boyfriend Simon and his friends from the Hotel School where he studies. Fun awaits!
