Morning Cafe and Lennon Wall

Today we had ethics class in a cafe. The cafe is owned by our Professor's daughter and sits in the courtyard of their house. We went there specifically because this house has a long history involving communism. Our professor grew up during communism, and during that time, her family's house was taken by the government. After the fall, she spent 10 years fighting to get her family's ancestral home back. Her family had been living there since the early 1700s, owning a total of 5 houses, that were once used as a soap and perfumery. Her earlier ancestors were in the upper echelon of society as the sole perfumery for the Austrian royalty.

While at the café, I tried a Kraffin, a hybrid of a croissant and a muffin, with pistachio cream.

We then walked over to the Lennon Wall, a famous and legal graffiti spot with its most prominent feature being the face of Lennon.Leggi altro
