I just got out of the shower and I'm already sweating again. I will never take advantage of the air conditioning at home ever again. I woke up this morning sweating and I have a feeling I'll be sweating the rest of the afternoon. Lovely.

So last night we went to a concert at the Konzerthaus here in Vienna. It was an orchestra playing mostly Mozart, with two opera singers who would accompany the orchestra every once in a while. All of the performers were dressed in old fashioned clothes (like what Mozart would wear) and wigs. I thought that part was a little cheesy, but overall I enjoyed the concert.

We also saw the catacombs yesterday. It was pretty much unreal. There were thousands of bones and skulls in a small, dark and creepy room. What really scared me when we were down there (besides the possibility of getting locked in) was the room with the bones stacked in organized piles with the heads placed on the edges. It was so creepy that it was underneath the Cathedral. I would have never guessed that there were graves under the beautiful church.

Oh! I can't forget about karaoke! We went to karaoke on Tuesday after we ate at a Mexican food restaurant down the street. I was feeling pretty good when we got to the bar, so I jumped right in to sing. Justin and I sang Jay Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulders." Hah that was funny. I was his backup dancer/singer. After the first song, I was addicted. I just kept requesting songs and made everyone listen to my beautiful voice. Well it sounds beautiful to me at least.

These are the songs I serenaded everone with:

1. Justin and Nicole- "Dirt Off Your Shoulders"
2. Coral and Nicole- "Come on Over"
3. Stephanie, Caitlin, Laura and Nicole- "Oops I did it Again"
4. Matt, Justin, Andrew, Mark, Roger and Nicole- Backstreet Boys

I hope I don't become a karaoke junkie...
