Singing

After I rested my feet, everyone met up to go out to dinner again. We went to the Salm Brau, which called itself the only "real" brewery in Austria or something like that. I got chocolate cake for dinner because I had a larger lunch and didn't feel very hungry.

So we were just minding our business, eating in this cool tavern-esque restaurant where all the waiters were wearing lederhosen and all the waitresses were in dirndls, and the effervescent sound of male voices permeates the air and begins to titillate mine ears. 4 giant tables of men were singing together with great tone! But wait, what's this? A beautiful melancholic chord is struck that would pull on the heartstrings of even the worst criminal. So here were these men (who ended up being a choir from Sweeden) going about their menu-reading and drinking while singing this amazing song. Everyone was too much in shock to really clap when they were done. And then, thinking it was over, they begin again! This time, everyone clapped, and I got the entire song on video. Unfortunately that eats up my memory card so I cut it down, but I got the gist of it recorded. Later, someone must have said something because they started singing "happy birthday" to one of the guys in our group. It was fabulous. I think I could have stayed their all night even though the restaurant was hot and the seat was a hard wooden bench.
We were there for probably 2 hours before my roommate and I left with a couple other people. We relaxed by the reflecting pool, watching the people ballroom dance and talking about random stuff.
Overall, great night.
