Another day soloing in Vienna

I rode the subway with Jordan who was on his way to work. He opened up the store and pointed me toward the market we had visited our first day in Vienna.  Today, because it was Saturday, there was also a flea market.  At the end of the day Saturday everything that is not removed is bulldozed and thrown away.  The Saturday before we had seen people picking over the rubble for treasures.  I bought two pieces of hand woven linen at the market.  

The pickle man was doing a big business.  


This cheese was beautiful.  I bought a small piece because the sample tasted so good.


This is the guy I bought my cheese from and this is the cheese my piece came from. He was a very good salesman.


In the afternoon I found my way to the Belvedere Palace because that is where Klimpt's The Kiss is hung. The palace and gardens are quite spectacular.  


And here is the kiss


This palace is now totally used as an art museum. It also had a few French impressionists. Here is a piece by Monet called The Chef. Never saw this one before.



Today was fun. Finding my way was really fun.  Amazing how easy it is to learn to navigate in a new place
