Our next stop on our Austrian tour was Vienna, city of a so many things it's impossible to grasp it all in three days, much less actually cover it. But we made a noble effort. We visited churches, museums, cafes, the underground, the underground, the unde... wait, you probably get the point, and walked around just absorbing the sights. The architecture is amazing and the street performers are also intriguing. Had a couple nostalgic moments as we walked, one of them being a puppet playing a piano to the tune from The Italian Job (a few of you will get that) and another was a cafe called Chattanooga. Oh, the Statue of Liberty was also there holding her flame high, and I'm pretty sure she was frozen solid. We experienced the joys of mass transportation, everything from getting where we wanted to be in no time to standing in a throng of people so tight you didn't have to balance yourself and waiting for a train that you could finally squeeze on to. We also had to evacuate a train when there was a fire up ahead. So overall, it was a learning experience. But we found a great shop where we could buy veggie pizza for a good deal. Who knew carrots belonged on pizza?!
