Gehri is today’s
Gaudi. I like to act art savvy and point out when I notice an artist’s work,
but I was about 100 years off with this one.
Gehri has the same “out there” style as Gaudi, and his buildings sure
stood out among the old neo classical buildings around it. We made sure to get
some footage of Brody dancing in front of the Dancing Houses.
The weather kind of
reminded me of Indiana today. As we’ve been traveling, I’ve been reading
everyones tweets back home about the unpredictable weather. In the beginning of
this week I was wearing a shirt with my sleeves rolled up, enjoying the warm
sun that was almost too hot. Today, I was cold in twice as many layers. It was
freezing! This means today was tram day. Instead of a tour bus, we got 90
minute tram tickets to watch the city go by! We got off at Petrin hill to get a
great view of the city – and to ride the funicular. This ended in us finding a
restaurant to warm up in with wifi and hot chocolate.
After leaving the
warmth of the tavern, we speed walked to a sightseeing area, snapped a few
pictures and bee lined to the nearest tram. We scored some seats and headed
back to Old Town so we could spend whatever crowns we had left. I’m going to
end up with a lot of useless money when the trip is over. When our pockets were
full of trinkets and gifts, we headed to the warm tram #22, which always
happened to be the crappiest, most packed tram.
This was okay because we needed the body heat.
Now I’m sitting in the
warm kitchen with a cup of tea and can’t even remember what it means to be
cold. Tomorrow we have a nice 6 hour train ride to Munich where our cultural
knowledge will expand as always.
