Field trip to Vienna!!! I still can't believe that I can spend an afternoon in another country. I went with students who are studying German and English at my school to the 'Picasso to Monet' exhibition at the Albertina Museum. I especially enjoyed Woman with Blue Eyes by Dongen. Picasso's Woman in a Green Hat and Monet's Waterlilies weren't bad either! I sat in front of Waterlilies for quite a while with four of my Slovak students, and I was happy. What an experience!
We walked around Vienna and visited St. Stephen's cathedral. It's always been my favorite European church. The inside reminds me of a cave. It's dripping with beauty. We also went to a cafe, and my students insisted that I try sachertorte. It's
Vienna's famous chocolate cake. I didn't argue.Vienna is covered in Christmas. Every street is festive. The Christmas markets are filled with pastries, hot Christmas punch, ornaments, and happy voices. I was with my elementary-level students. They can barely speak English, but they did everything to make sure I had a good Austrian experience.
