Hühnerparadies

Funny the places you find yourself in sometimes here in Vienna. For example, today I had lunch at a place called 'Hühnerparadies', or Chicken Paradise... and I have to say, it was the best schnitzel sandwich I have had yet. I am adding schnitzel sandwiches to my list of things I will miss back home.



I would also like to add Almdudler, a strange soda comparable to gingerale. I will mostly miss this because of the Austrian couple in traditional Austrian clothes on the front. 





After a little chicken paradise (he he) for lunch today, I ventured on to meet up with Lauren and Julie to check out the Salvador Dali exhibit that moved into Vienna for the summer. Unfortunately we didn't find many works from the guy himself, just some sketches and then a lot from similar artists. Dali was a surrealist painter, and if you don't recognize his name.. you may just be familiar with him from his famous painting,  The Persistence of Memory, with all the drippy clocks...



The Persistence of Memory, 1931, Salvador Dali
The only reason I still recognize it is because of its appearance in an episode of Arthur way back in the day.. I think Buster was having bad dreams or something along those lines. If no one else remember I am sure Brent will. Ah well, excellent way to spend an afternoon.
