This morning we visited the graves of Beethoven, Mozart, and Strauss, which is located outside of Vienna in one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. It was a bit of a trip out there, but pretty cool to see so many famous graves just a few feet from each other.
I then flew to Munich in the evening to prepare for some business meetings tomorrow. The Vienna airport terminal is amazing. They have tons of these comfy seats with electrical plugs, free WiFi, and even some "couches" made out of hard plastic foam. Kind of like a normal airport seat, but where you could lay down in it. Also the security line was non-existent, there were tons of security lanes open, and they have an automatic system to bring trays from the exit point to the entry point, so you're never short of trays. Bravo Vienna airport! Though I find it interesting they never check your ID against your boarding pass (once you get it at the ticket counter), so anyone could actually fly if someone gave them their pass.
In Munich we had dinner at an American restaurant downtown. In fact the subtitle below the name was "California Kitchen". Which in Germany of course means under "BBQ" they list normal steaks and chicken dishes. But I took advantage of it, and had my first full on American meal in a long time: a burger and fries. It was actually quite good. The only downfall was that the ketchup was too sweet, but otherwise I was a happy camper with my German beer to go along with it.
The fact that I hadn't had anything like since we moved here is probably also why I've lost a lot of weight over the last month. That and all the walking around everywhere, everyday.
