1. Got lost today more than I wanted to. Even couldn't remember which apartment Paula lived in. Luckily there is only one apartment on the first floor. There's only one other door and it's a psychotherapist's office. At least I think so.
2. Saw museums today. Seeing Klimt's "The Kiss" in person was better than I thought. Stunning.
3. Ate at Tex Mex with Paula. That was my Thanksgiving lunch.
4. My Thanksgiving dinner was at a restaurant near the concert hall where later saw a Haydn concert. At the restaurant, I had Weiner Schnitzel which was delectable. It's like chicken fingers but more tender, like fish.
5. I thought the concert was at 7:30 but it was at 7:00! So I was late and had to wait outside the auditorium for 40 minutes with some other outcasts until the first big applause happened.
6. The first thing I did today was get tickets at the same concert hall for the show later, and go to a church/museum where I got to go to the top. There was an astonishingly elaborate baroque design on the main wall of the church of little baby angles in a cloud with golden rods of sunlight everywhere.
7. The second museum I went to today was the best. There was this one point where I was looking at a painting and I heard two people scream at the top of their lungs, a woman and a man. Then I heard an evil monster-like sound come from the same room and looked over. The lights were flickering. I almost hoped there was a dragon. Or at least a fake one. I walked into the room and there was a sign saying, "Yell as loud as you can, now!" So after I yelled for the first time, nothing happened and couple laughed at me. Another guy yelled and somehow it triggered something, making the lights flicker again. Then this loud noise dominated the room that sounded like king kong breathing in your ear and with every evil breath of this invisible creature, the lights flickered on and off! It was like the room was alive! I yelled after him even louder and the room did the same thing. I had no idea why this was happening in such a garish museum with old paintings and sculptures.
I adore the thought of that interactive exhibit where your scream triggers reactions......so incredibly creative.
