This morning Jordan and I went to the Hofburg palace stables to watch the Lipizzaner horses exercise. To watch them exercise only costs $10. To watch a performance can cost over $200. Their arena is quite fancy and well cared for. The exercise period is 2 hours long and consists of 4 periods. Each horse is only exercised for 30 minutes. Each group had 6-7 horses. The last group was the younger horses. It was easy to see that they were still learning. My photos stopped when the exercising began. No photos allowed. I was busted late in the exercise trying to take a short video. We weren’t kicked out, just asked to put the phone away. Guessing it had to with flashes
We ate a street lunch in stephensplatz. I learned about hot dogs here. A roll is pushed on the hot metal spear. After it is toasted inside, condiments are added and the. Your sausage of choice is stuffed down the hole. A no mess method of eating a hot dog
Walked a bit and checked out the public library. You need to be registered to actually walk around inside
Lots of carriages hauling tourists around
Every horse wears a poop collector. Gotta keep the streets clean.
Tomorrow is Jordan’s graduation in the Hofburg Palace. Curious.
