Vienna

We went to Vienna last week.  The first night we arrived, we toured the city and the catacombs of St. Stephen's cathdedral.  We had the pleasure of looking at the remains of hundreds of dead people.  It was awesome.  The second day, we went to the Josephenium where they have on display wax models of bodies conveying different parts of the human anatomy.  Along with the wax models, they also had on display many ancient medical tools used in surgeries back in the day.  After the museum, we got a lecture on homeopathic medicine, which was very interesting.  During the trip, we also got to visit an old pysch ward which is now a medical museum.  Other things we got to do were visit the famous Vienna museum of history and the museum of Sigismond Freud.  All in all, the trip to Vienna was quite enlightening and I look forward to spending a couple more weeks in Bonn before spring break starts.
