Black Inside?

In the morning, Katie was startled awake by a loud, firm, panicked, "KATIE!" by Nicole. Her tongue was black. Really black, like she had been sucking on licorice all night, or drawing on her tongue with a sharpie pen. She brushed her teeth a million times and it finally went away, and we made a note to call Dr. Toth, medicine woman at a decent California hour.
We grabbed breakfast and headed for the Hundertwasserhaus - an apartment building designed by Hundertwasser himself. On our way we met a very happy middle aged man named Daniel, from France. He came right up to us with a fat grin and said hello and how are we and went out of his way to walk us right to the Hundertwasserhaus, even though we didnt need or ask him to. He was in a VERY good mood. It was funny.
After the visit to the apartment building (you cant go inside), we went to the Kunsthauswein, another building designed by Hundertwasser that houses a lot of his artwork and models.
We were making our way to the Belvedere Palace and stopped to look at our map when a lady came right up to us and said cheerily, "would you like some help?" We didnt really need help, but she was so sweet we said yes anyway and she was so happy to help us!
We found the Belvedere and walked through the gardens and lower building which is known for displaying Gustav Klimts "The Kiss." We liked exploring the grounds better than the museum...
Right across the street was the train station, so we grabbed lunch and bought our train tickets to Budapest. From there we took the U-bahn (metro) to Schloss Schonbrunn, another palace in Vienna. These gardens were even more vast and beautiful than the Belvedere! Here we took the 26 room tour of the 1,440 room palace and loved every minute of it.
At that point we had had a pretty full day and it was about time to call Dr. Toth, so we started to head home. When we got Jeanette on the phone she immediately said, "Well, did she take any pepto bismol? Because that turns EVERYTHING black." Piece of cake! Nicole had, in fact, taken some pepto...she wasnt dying! YAY!
We grabbed some food at the supermarket and headed back to Mattias, put in yet another movie and made dinner. Two more movies and a greatly named ice cream bar later (it was called Magnum - Temptation), we hit the sack.
Oh, and for all of our avid readers who are curious (namely Sam), here is a list of all the movies we watched at Mattias house: Click, The Girl Next Door, Knocked Up, The Devil Wears Prada, Old School, The Italian Job, The Stepford Wives, and Meet The Parents. :)
