Wien!  iäm in vienna.  it is an impressive city.  today i went to the natural history museum and saw dinosaur bones and tons of stuffed animals (not like cuddly toys though) and rooms and rooms full of glittery minerals.  yesterday i gorged mself on schnitzel and beer and cake, and rode on trams and trains, and sat in old fashioned coffee houses where you cannot have cell phones but you can smoke!, and i saw st stephen's cathedral, which is big.  big.

the zoo here is the world's oldest, about 250 years old!, and also was this year voted the world's best, so on monday i am going to go.  there are so many animals on the zoo list, including koalas!  oh man!  and crocodiles and cheetahs.  lions.  bears.  i can't wait.

i was looking at seahorses today at the museum.  live ones.  best ocean creatures?  perhaps?  men give birth!
