auf Wiedersehen, Wien. Szia, Hungary!

The past few days in Vienna (or Wien, in German) have been fantastic. That city has serious class. I'm actually listening to Mozart right now as a kind of farewell ode. Highlights from the past couple of days having included:
Renting bicycles and exploring the city haphazardly.

We stumbled upon some pretty awesome little places, like a cute park that reminded us of home (especially because of all the ducks and dead leaves on the ground), an outdoor skating rink featuring cute Austrian families galore, and this body of water called the Danube. Anyone heard of it?

There was also this sweet church called St. Stephansdom, where we stopped to bust out the map. Not too shabby.

Oh, and then we went to the Schönbrunn Palace, the Habsburgs' summer residence. Not bad either. They had Roman ruins in their back yard too. Cool, I guess. Vienna is sophisticated. I think that makes us sophisticated, too.



This afternoon we took a relatively short bus ride across the border, and now we're in Budapest! More updates soon!
