Post 7

So the trip is coming to a close, unfortunately, with today being our last day. We spent the past several days in Vienna and it was as amazing as the rest of the trip. We first learned about the history of Vienna and visited the cathedral in the center of town. It was all really interesting, and the crypts of the cathedral was what I had wanted to see at the previous crypt visited. There were rooms filled from top to bottom with bones. It's unlike anything I've seen before. Of course, we didn't just learn about history, as we are on a trip aimed towards medicine. We visited Freud's house and the History of Medicine museum, which were incredible. The detail of the wax figures in the medicine museum were something else, and the size and variability of their antique medical tools was impressive. Some people have already had to leave which is why we celebrated our last night all together yesterday at a karyoke bar. Needless to say everyone there had a blast. It was one of the best nights of the trip, and a great note to end on together. We still have the official farewell tonight at the banquet dinner, which will mark the end of a winter break spent having one amazing time!
