Today is May Day! That translates to Labor Day for Austrians, so everyone is off school and work. We spent the morning downtown. We first stopped at Starbuck's, then walked to the only garden in Vienna where there are peony bushes. I love peony flowers! We found yellow, pink, and white ones, but the yellow ones were the only ones that smelled sweet! We blew bubbles there, too. The peony bushes are right next to the memorial to Mozart, who is the only major composer NOT buried in Vienna. We then walked around some more and found a huge demonstration composed of many different groups demonstrating for and against lots of things including communism, the USA, and more. It was quite a sight! We made it home in time for lunch and a nap.

Actually, Mozart IS buried in Vienna, but nobody knows where exactly. He was buried in an unmarked grave.
i'll stay out of the Mozart argument...BUT, i also LOVE LOVE LOVE peony flowers. they have the most glorious blooms. they don't grow so well here in the south b/c it gets too darn hot too darn fast.
