Vienna, 2010











Even though this is about a month late, I hit Vienna on my last half of the trip to Zurich. Although it rained pretty much the whole time I was there, I did see some pretty cool things. I now understand why everyone that goes to Vienna falls in love with it.

Beethovan, Mozart, classical and modern artists. I went to the summer palace and hit some of the great musuems. Klepmt was all over the place and so were the nazi security guards with my purse. Kinda freaked me out leaving it with some lady behind a counter with a ticket stub. But in the end it worked out just fine!

The food wasn't exemplary per se, but the company was much appreciated. My dad's friend lived in Vienna and was nice enough to join me with his wife for lunch and a tour of the city and their home. It was a holiday in Vienna so parades were everywhere and pettit fors were in bulk! They are, by the way, amazing fresh. Some champagne to celebrate the day along with a visit to the summer palace finished off the last day. I was lucky and bought my wine glasses the day before the holiday...as the whole city pretty much shut down. Fun times.

Vienna- I will come back when it's sunny and gorgeous and see you for your real beauty.
