About being a tourist or not and things you find in books

I spent a day in Vienna on Monday. I went there to enroll to university, which is rather unspectacular than exciting. I thought it would be something special, but it wasn't.
Vienna is my favourite Austrian city. Austria doesn't have that many cities. Small country, small cities, that's how it goes.
Usually I enjoy spending a whole day in Vienna, but this time it wasn't so much fun, because it was raining. Everything was wet and cold...
First I went a bit shopping and only bought some books. I can't go the bookstore without buying books. I try, but it is impossible!
After some time it stopped raining and I decided to run around Vienna for 4 hours and visit all the tourist attractions. I know some people who live or go to university in Vienna and most of them told me, that they try not to go to the tourist places. I don't know why. Even though I already know all these places I love to go there and take photos of the beautiful architecture or just look at the behavior of the tourist (which sometimes is amazingly funny ;) ).
After hours of walking my feet hurts terrible.
Here are my four hours in pictures:

at the bookstore. Sorry, this one is a bit blurry. Is it forbidden to take pictures inside a bookstore?

Leaving some notes. Have you ever left notes in books? Tell me...
I love to do it! I usually do it with library books, but this time I decided to do it at the bookstore.
And I love to find things in library books! Have you ever found something interesting in a (library) book? A beautiful book mark or something bizarre?
Tell me!
I have a small collection of thing I found in library books.

Museum of Natural History

I didn't go inside. I have to do it next time...

The foyer of the Austrian National Library. I went only to the foyer. I have to go inside someday.


I love cupolas. I can't remember what kind of building it was.

Have a lovely day and tell me about things you found in books.
