Vienna, Day 12: National Austrian Library

Freitag, 25 Jänner

I started off the day with a delectable pastry, called a Fruchtig-Plunder, with yoke-looking apricots on either end:




Then I aced my weekly German exam (I hope!). Later, we went to the National Austrian Library, which supposedly inspired Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast library. Judge for yourself:




Saw Bruckner's Symphony No. 3, dedicated to Wagner.
Also, I ran into an adorable Pinocchio shop!


  

Finally, I ended the day with a ballet, Manon, by Massenet at the StaatOper. Lovely! And I've never seen so many people wearing fur coats in one place.
