July 8th

We missed the tour guide for the Graham Green tour, which does not really matter because we heard quite a bit about The Third Man during the sewer tour - will reinvest the money into the tour about the history of prostitution that - surprisingly - everyone wants to do. We finally managed to load money onto the quick cards so that we can do laundry - and smell nice. Mel, Shelby and I (Julia) peeked into St. Stephen's Cathedral and I showed the girls Meister Pilgrim and the entrance to the Catacombs - they now want to go there, so we will. I introduced them to Eiskaffee (coffee, vanilla ice cream, lots of cream on top), walked back to Naschmarkt, bought the scarf that everyone seems to wear this summer, stopped by Bipa to get more foot creme and the watch that I saw on Jamie ... got back, taught, took an exam, relaxed a bit. Went back to Burgring, sat at an Italian and had some dessert - Tiramisu, Creme brulee & Co - some wine and very good conversation. I got the tickets for the late show at the Burgkino - The Third Man - and also got 13 tickets for Harry Potter, the last movie. That will be a LOOOONG night! We all fell asleep off and on during the film, but hey, we got to see the places we had visited, i.e. what they looked like after the war. Caught the subway to get back to Sechshauserstr. and finally hit the sack at 1.30 am. Whew. Today on to Wachau!!
