This weekend, Matt and I revisited Bratislava on our way to Vienna. I cannot believe I have been to Bratislava several times and I didn't discover the Blue Church until now. After a while, all of the churches start to look alike, but not this one. It was from a dream. It looked almost puffy and very blue. St. Elisabeth used to sneak bread out of the castle for the hungry people. When she was caught, she said she had only roses hidden in her dress. By a miracle, the bread turned into roses to save her. The story is captured on the front of the church. The inside matches the outside.
Yesterday, we went to Vienna. It was my fourth time in Vienna, but I hope it won't be my last. We went to the Prater amusement park to ride on the Riesenrad, Vienna's famous 200-foot ferris wheel. It was as fun as it sounds! We also visited St. Stephen's cathedral and the Belvedere Museum. Gustav Klimt's The Kiss is held there. It was beautiful. My theory is that the woman in the painting was about to jump off the cliff, and she is relieved that he stopped her.
