Travelog for: Monkez

This week my host took me to her workplace for a day.
She works at an archive for theatre and cultural studies in the middle of Vienna. See all those old books on the picture? There were even more and more piles of even older books and scores and original handwritings.

I learned that the research of the archive focuses on the 17th and 18th century and especially the works of a man called DaPonte, he wrote the lyrics for "Don Giovanni" (or in German he is the famous "DonJuan") together with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who wrote the music. In the room we worked in, there was a big painting of Mozart on the wall.

See me sitting on that pile of old original theatre plays? It was like a time travel back into the old Austrian monarchy!

In the afternoon we digitalized some books and I was curious how I would look if I'd use the scanning machine.
Look! Monkeeez digitalizeeed! 

Hello! 

It is monkeeeeez freeeezing cold outside -13°C. BRRRRRR!!!

That's why we play some board games today!
First: A game called "SKIP BO" - a card game, where we had to build card stacks from 1-12.
And then: "Elder Sign" - a mystery game, where we play as a group, to defeat a monster in a spooky house, by rolling our dices. That was monkey-cool! 

Sorry, in fact I`m at home for a long time already. Thank you for all my hosts!
Think I will not travel again very soon.
