Fall Break in Vienna



Today is a Holiday (All Saints Day), and so this weekend we got a long weekend. My friends Kathryn and I planned to go see friends teaching at ICSV (International Christian School Vienna), and a student teacher who just arrived at our school asked to join us, as she knew one of the people we were visiting. It was our first train trip! Here are some picture from the trip:





  
Part of the Hofburg Palace this is where Hitler
gave a speech
 
                 




   





  

A place on the edge of the city in the hills that they took us for a beautiful view of the city, and then 
this cute restaraunt with traditional Austrian food




  
Famous Ferris Wheel that cost 9 Euro to ride, but with great views of the city!





  

Schönbrunn Palace (Summer Palace)




Belvedere Palace (Now an art Museum)

It was good to see the girls, and reconnect with them. It was also good to learn how to navigate my way around the city. It makes me want to go downtown more and learn the Metro system better in Budapest.
