We walked around a couple of flea markets in the rain and cold. My jeans are now wet/damp up to my knees. Gwen, Katie, and I all bought authentic Salzburg Dirndls. In the stores they run from 200 to 600 or more Euros. At the flea market it was only 40 Euros. We’re all really excited… maybe a little too excited. I think we may all wear them on Monday. I tried on another one that isn’t exactly a dirndl its some other type of Austrian dress that was much nicer. Everyone loved it on me, especially the boys. It basically pushed up my boobs, but it was 85 Euros.
After we all bought our dirndls we went to the famous café Demel at Mozart Platz. It’s a little bit more on the expensive side, but the pastries are delicious!! There were no tables inside so we ended up sitting outside on the upstairs patio. It was cold so we all got some sort of coffee or hot chocolate. I got Manage (white coffee) and I can’t remember the name of my desert for the life of me, but it was delicious. It had chocolate moose, cream, and brandy.
The winners for the competition were posted. I am not one of the winners, but I still feel like I had a personal victory. I have not had good experiences with auditions, and this was a good audition for me. The caliber of singers is also high. Truth be told a part of me is a tiny bit happy. Now I can really just concentrate on learning, and working on my technique, instead of freaking out over performing in Salzburg during the festival.
Then we walked back to school where I’m not relaxing and hanging out while drying off a bit before catching the bus home. With all the rain, the dance around the fountain won’t take place, so I think I’ll just curl up with a good book and some tea. Then get a good night sleep for tomorrow. I have to be at the bus at 9:30 tomorrow for our trip to the Salzkammergut.
So for now, Ciao!
