Last Days in Vienna
So its 2:30 in teh morning...i need to leave for the airport in about 3 hours. The last few days in vienna have been packed with culture and medical education. We got to have a city tour by bus that showed us all the historical locations of the city and the amount of history in this city is amazing. At the Vienna medical center, we were able to see an incredible and totally unique collection of anatomical wax models. They were incredibly deteailed and accurate. The collection cost over 15 million dollars to create. We were able to see part of the pathalogical wax model collection as well. Last night we were able to go to the opera and see "The Marriage of Figarro". The opera was definitely better than i thought it would be. It was incredible to be able to see an opera in the of the most beautiful opera halls in the world in the music capital of the world, Vienna! I would definitely see another opera. It was great getting to kiow Dr.Wasser and Dr.Rousseau and Olaf on this trip. Im sure I will see Wasser and Rousseau around, but unfortunately I will not have such access to Olaf, who did such an excellent job coordinating everything. I am excited to come back to Europe again now that I am more cultured, but for now I must say goodbye to the beautiful places of the world.
