We made it to Austria on the long train ride, and the weather once again was a little crummy at first but has rebounded fantastically.
We'll readily admit that we didn't know much about Austria before arriving except that the Governator hails from the country. We were surprised by how much German influence is here. The language, the food, just about everything feels German, and I've never even been to Germany yet. But we also must say that the city is quite beautiful with it's intricate architecture and nice parks. We timed it pretty well also with a city festival going on in the heart of the city center.
Some of the highlights so far have been attending a Mozart & Strauss Orchestra performance in an old palace. The concert included opera singers and waltzing dancers as well. We also attended a performance by the Spanish Riding School (Lippizaner Horse Riding Performance) in a huge building built almost 300 years ago. And that's just a sampling.
Here's a brief look at our visit thus far...
