Day 7 Saturday June 22

the narrows of old town

     Slow day. Rain at 11 as I returned from the drugstore, multi-market Müller, Naschmarkt (flea market, farmers market). In to mega sport mart to eye the Muddy Foxes and assorted cheapy bikes. Indecision plagues.  B arose late but made the breakfast cut off.  B off to Belvedere Palace to see some Klimts while I wrestle with new blog platform here in the Hostel lobby.  Software struggle exhaustion. Absolute crash nap 2:30 to 4:30.

     B and I went for light dinner on the nearby main, Mariahilfer Straße, at a sidewalk spot just down the street from the little Bosnian cafe where I lunched.  Deeply philosophical discussion of bike choices. I am leaning and being pushed toward the Venerable Kettler and away from the shiny bobbles.We proceeded into the old town on the now familiar U3 orange line. Wandered the narrow side streets to a liederhosen cafe for a weissbeir and then into the Porgy and Bess Jazz club for a bit of the experimental. Had thought to check the Actress Lounge nearby mainly because it opened at 9:30 pm and closed at 5 am and we were curious. But when we arrived at 10 it was still shut. So we went home.
