Wien

This past weekend, I went to Wien (or Vienna) with my parents! I've had a really nice time with them both in Austria and Hungary.
I few things we did together include...
  • Eating high quality continental breakfasts at hotels
  • Riding the Children's railway in Budapest
  • Shopping in the Central Market and Vaci Utca in Budapest
  • Seeing the Lipizzaner horses in Vienna
  • Eating many delicious pastries in Vienna
  • Seeing the Imperial Treasury in Hofburg palace
  • Taking a walking tour of Vienna
  • Seeing a great concert of Mozart and Strauss music
  • Keeping dry
  • Witnessing parts of a funeral for a former Mayor of Vienna at St. Stephen's Cathedral
  • Going on a tour of Schonnbrunn palace -- Amazing.
  • Seeing Mozarthaus and the Hauz der Musik
  • "Conducting" the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
  • Eating Mozart chocolate balls
I think that's about all we did... We packed a lot in, and it was a great time!
Vienna is a beautiful city. Now my parents are headed back home.
Part of me thinks it would be great to go back home now, but I still have so much to do here. Less than 5 weeks to go. Wow.
I'm excited for Christmas already. :)
