Dad card from Vienna, 1986
Message: Dear J, am now here in old Wien -- 5 1/2 hrs on der train -- in (?) from Innsbruck. The wedder has turned worse -- there were snow clouds near Innsbruck and it's been solidly overcast and threatening snow here -- below 0 degrees c. Went to the historical fine art museo today -- its great -- a room of Brueghels (both) many Rembrandts, some absolutely dazzling art objects made of gold, crystal, precious stones, Roman antiquities, Byzantine & Etruscan stuff etc. Too much to cover. Had a couple Hungarians from Budapesht in my room last night -- They looked & acted like characters out of a bad spy movie -- Brown Leather coats, scarfs, shiny leather suitcases, the leader told me 'shower es verboten' It was a push-button model -- He just grunted when I showed him. Had a horrible dream of 2 bats, a cat, and macabre voice calling 'Mortimer' hope nothing bad happens. Also I lit a candle. There was a ghostly voice calling when awoke. Dad
