The High Life in Vienna

We are way behind on blog posts.  We haven't found many opportunities to move photos off the camera's memory chip (and we've been too busy enjoying Europe!).  So we finally have a chance to post some pictures.  We were in Vienna a couple weeks ago, here are some of the things we saw.

You can't go to Vienna without hearing some classical music.  We saw the Vienna Mozart Orchestra in the historic opera house.  They played a medley of Mozart music, and they also dressed the part.


We had standing room tickets only, but we read that you are free to search for better seats.  Here's a view from the amazing box seats Shawna found us!

St. Stephen's Cathedral in the center of Vienna's old town.

Nice pic of the pipe organ inside St. Stephens.


We had to try sacher torte, a chocolate cake invented in Vienna.  We bought some at a fancy chocolate store and they wrapped the cake up in so many boxes I thought I would never find it.

In Vienna, citizens like to enjoy the best of life, be it food, music, etc.  This seems to extend even to their Toilets.  This is the "Vienna Opera Toilet, with Music!"
