Rachel and I took a trip to Baden today, aptly named "Bath" after the natural hot springs and thermal waters of the city. The likes of Beethoven used to travel there from Vienna for the natural healing powers of the water. We figure we are as cool as Beethoven.

Beautiful blooming trees!

Baden Bahn!
Adorable!
Beethoven even had an apartment here, where he wrote the 9th!

Gelato!
After the warm waters in Baden, we headed back to the city to catch Puccini's Madama Butterfly and afterward met Madama Butterfly herself, Fiorenza Cedolins, who gave us her card in case we ever wanted a lesson.
Lesson of the day: we really are as cool as Beethoven.
