At the Art Museum

 It is always nice to find some of the old Asterix books at the apartment.
 Yesterday we went to the Art Museum.
 We saw the Vermeer and some Rubens.
Question: Can you find the "extra" foot in this picture?
(Answer: Follow the sky down and voila!)
 This is a portrait by Velasquez of Philip Prospero, Son of King Philip IV of Spain. 
The little guy always ran away in the big palace so they put a bunch of little bells on him. 
He died at age 4.
 After the museum we walked around a little. 
This is Heldenplatz (Square of Heroes).
In the back is Archduke Karl, he won against Napoleon at the Battle of Aspern; 
not a big enough victory to push back Napoleon but big enough to get him a nice statue!
 Today we visited my parents. We watched tv together. 
They look pretty comfy!
 Then we wanted to take a picture of Opa and Thomas together.
They are the same height. I said "SMILE".
We said, come on Opa, you can do better!
This is the second try. Opa smiling! 
Pretty funny.
