the albertina (315/365b)

so much fun at the albertina. it was a truly wonderful full day, looking at paintings.

i wanted to go to the library, but late last night i found all the information online that i was actually going to search for, and i would have gone to the library anyway just to look around, but we found plenty of other ways to occupy ourselves. we filled nearly the entire day (about 7 hours of museum time) with art, mostly paintings and sculputures.
we had a chocolate break and a dinner break
they got more chocolate from the waitress

we saw charcoal paintings by robert longo (one, of mickey mouse that made felix have a laughing fit, and one of a whitepillow that i explained at first, was a photograph, before i read the description), surreal stuff from franz sedlacek (my new favorite surrealist), picassos (felix pouted that they didn't have his favorite picasso)...

on our way through the city

after, on our way out

brian still had to go for his daily run, so he left us waiting at the train station for a few minutes.

right after being told by a train official not to play with the escalators
waiting to see who catches the first glimpse of papa as he rushes back just in time for the train

ah ha, that's what took brian an extra couple minutes... waiting in line at the spar
the kids slept on the train ride home. we didn't :)
