Vienna

Vienna was a very interesting and comfortable city. It was a great blend of old and new and nothing was out of place. We had a very busy 3 days in Vienna and we're taking the night train to Berlin tonite.

I think anyone who loves music and art will be happy in Vienna. The museums we went to had beautiful and unusual art collections. My favorites includes Brugel's paintings on the seasons and Tower of Babel, the Ruben alterpieces, and the few amazing jewels in the Hapsburg Treasury.


I also really enjoyed going to the Opera in Vienna. We went to Andre Chenier and we got standing tickets, which were surprisingly nice and only 2 euros. We only stayed for 30 minutes because standing up for 3 hours is not very fun and we were hungry. Today, we got a tour of the Opera including the backstage. It's really a part of Vienna culture and I highly recommend it to music lovers.


Overall, we're all pretty tired of traveling, although each new destination continues to fascinate us. We cut out Munich and Prague from our schedule because one day in a city is exhausting and really not enough time to appreciate anything. So after Vienna, we have Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. Then it's back to Nebraska to pack and spend some time with my mom.
