Forever raining

Over one week down and it is still raining here.  We have had a nice day of sunniness, but back to rain, it feels like we are actually in London!  Yesterday we went to a large psychiatric facility, we got to go inside the church they use that had recently been renovated.  It was very beautiful and the guide told us how everything had been smoothed and rounded so that the patients could not hurt themselves.  
Friday we went to the National Cemetery, it is the largest in all of Europe!  One of the last fights for Vienna took place in the old Jewish quarter of the cemetery, so it was interesting to see bullet holes in the gravestones.  That area had also been bombed and it was sad to see the piles and piles of grave-markers that weren't where they belonged.  

I hope to put up more pictures soon,
Love,
Kristin
