A nice little view of a canal over by the flower vendor area of town. There weren't any tulips (wrong time of year) but there were about a bajillion bulbs for sale. I didn't buy any though.

Those crazy Dutch flock around these vending machines. I never mustered the courage to try something (I'm sure it would have been on par with the fast food crap we serve in America) but I did eat at a Turkish kebab place next to one.

A closer view of the vending machine (stupid blurry camera).

That's it for now. I had a bunch more open in Photoshop to crop but it crashed on me and I lost all the work. It's late and I have class tomorrow so maybe I'll get a few more done then.

The former apartments of Sissi and Franz Joseph, aka the hofburg.

The Wien train station. I was waiting to catch a train to the airport to fly off to Amsterdam. I was sick, it was raining, I was tired and everyone was smoking. I listened to the Shins and everything was alright.

Looking the otherway at the train station.

On the train. I don't think this picture does it justice, but there was something so vivid and technicolor about the interior of the train. Between Amsterdam and Vienna I came back from this trip with a new appreciation for the color orange.

This picture isn't all that exciting but the Long Winters had come on the iPod and I felt very melancholy and kinda sad. I think it was because I was sick and it reminded me of Seattle, which made me miss my bed and cat.
