Vienna, Austria

We arrived in Vienna and decided to take a chance on the sushi. Somehow it seemed more legit than in Berlin. This entire plate was only 4 euro! And it was delicious!
The first night out we just walked around the main area which has the best shopping ever! The weather was really nice; it was great not to have to wear a heavy coat.
We really wanted to buy these ridiculous heels...
...all the women in Vienna dressed so stylishly and wore heels during the day!
The next morning we had a walking tour of Vienna.
This is a really old church that has hundred of catacombs beneath it. Back in the day prisoners were forced to muck out the catacombs when they started to smell...yuck!
Oh you know, just hanging out in Vienna!
Like I said, the shopping there was unbelievable. Just look at the facade of this H&M! There were 3 H&Ms on one block...
Doing the tourist wave...
This picture of the last supper was created for Napoleon Bonaparte. It is actually a mosaic!
This is the tomb of Maria Christina, a Hapsburg princess who was the sister of Marie Antoinette. She was the only child that was allowed to marry for love, and when she died her husband made this symbolic and artistic tomb.

This pizza was soooo good...you know how much I love corn!
People spend the day in parks like we do the beach. They picnic, lay out, play music, play sports, and have a great time.
Next to the park was this greenhouse butterfly garden. It was so cool!
It was really relaxing to chill out in the park...we did it a few times that trip!

Vienna was SUCH a great place to people-watch. Nicole and I sat here for about 2 hours eating, drinking, and creeping on people haha
This is the museum quarter that kind of reminded me of Balboa Park, SD.
We went to the Natural History Museum, which was a refreshing change from paintings and religious art.






Our second day at the park.
The last day in Vienna we decided to rent bikes. Biking is really popular there, and there are bike paths that go all around the city. It was so much fun!

I ran into PJ and Nick, looking like typical hick Americans...
But they took a photo-shoot of me riding my bike in Vienna looking super cool!
