| City Hall |
This morning we were out of the hotel
by 6:30am and on our way to the airport to head to Vienna! We had no problems
getting to Vienna and when we arrived we were told that it was about 32 degrees
Fahrenheit, which seemed quite balmy after a week in Berlin, I even left my
heavier coat at the hotel. After we dropped our suitcases off in the room we
began to explore Vienna. We went for a walk through downtown and saw the City
Hall, the Parliament Building, the Art Museum and the Nature Museum, some Roman
ruins that were discovered when Austrians were digging tunnels for the subway,
we walked down the street where the main event of The Third Man took place and we made a snowman there, the Vienna
Opera House, the tomb of Maria Theresa, and then we stopped for an afternoon
snack of pastries and coffee. I had chocolate mousse with cherries in a hard chocolate shell with chocolate shavings and a cherry on top. After having a few hours to ourselves we went to
dinner and we all had Weiner Schnitzel that was fabulous.

I think most of us agreed that we like
Vienna better than Berlin for many reasons but the one we all agreed on is that
the city itself is so much prettier. The architecture is breathtaking. We’ve
all seen pictures of Vienna in textbooks
or online but being here is a totally different experience.
More tomorrow, stay tuned!
