Vienna and Prague (Vienna for now...)
As mentioned on my last post, we took a long weekend... errr, six day break to Vienna and Prague. Both cities were equally impressive. Vienna is a city immersed in its history as the art and music capital of its time... Prague is known for its well preserved medieval and Bohemian style.
Highlights we enjoyed in Vienna included Mozart's The Magic Flute Opera, Vienna Boys Choir, and the Famous Spanish Riding School
For now, the Vienna pictures.
Early morning heavies at Heathrow
Now that's funny... the sign and the car.
St. Stephen's Cathedral - most of what you see was built in 1511
Magic Kingdom? Actually it's Vienna's city hall (the Rathaus)
One of the museums that is part of the famous Hofburg Imperial Palace
The famous National Opera House
Not as famous - The Volksopera where we saw Mozart's "The Magic Flute"... (I love German singing with no sub-titles)
OPEC - Blame them.
The Town Hall
Austrian Sausage Lady
Statue to commemorate Mozart
Horse and Buggy
Sausage (though not from Sausage Lady per above)
Spanish Riding School - no pics allowed during the show
Maybe I need some culturing... but I struggled with the display of this man's work... I recall getting a C in 4th grade art class for stuff that looked like this. Check this out.
