The one in which I go to a free concert

So yesterday...which was Thursday the Vienna Philharmonic played in the gardens at Schonbrunn Place. Obviously everyone in our group was planning on going since they are amazing and the event is free(big fans of cool free things) So class that day was over early since we had a tour of the Parliment building at 12:20 so we also had our weekly meeting early, where I was the spotlight totally lame lol. But some of the girls from our group decided to go to Schonbrunn early and take pictures in the gardens and I ended up going with them. It was so much fun, and some of the pictures came out pretty cute. Then a couple people went for pizza and we walked up the hill to hold ourselves a spot among the millions of smoking people...they all also brought wine. The music started about the time the guys got back with the pizza and we dicovered you cant hear anything on the hill. So we moved down the hill to hear a little while we ate and then walked down behind the main area in order to beable to hear. It was so amazing the music was soooo good and gorgeous. The glorietta(terrace behind the palace) looked so amazing all lite up. And the fireworks at the end went with the music perfectly it was so cool. I didn't get home untill midnight but it was well worth it. Totally one of the best days so far.
