vonderful vienna

so we spent the last week in the gorgeous city vienna. i had no idea austria would have such a pretty capital! every street was lined with buildings with very impressive roman-esque architecture.

on the first day we went on an open air bus tour! this was really relaxing and it was interesting to hear about the history of the city. after that we visited a museum and saw some more pretty buildings.

on wednesday night we went to a mozart orchestra! it was unbelievable! i loved hearing my favorite mozart songs and all the orchestra members were dressed up in old time clothing (wigs included) back home i listen to classical music to fall asleep, so it was hard staying awake during the concert! i managed to keep consciousness for the most part :)

the following day we went to a big cemetary and the josephinum, a big medical wax museum. in the cemetary we tried to find sigmund freud's parents but were unsuccessful. it was still interesting to see the grave stones. some were REALLY big and ornate! i can't imagine spending that much money on a grave stone. apparently some of these people were big ballin. i also had the GREATEST peach tea ever on thursday afternoon at this nice cafe we went to.

overall vienna was a BLASSSSST!

love it,
