More of Vienna

I am standing gaurd at the back of the Hapsburg Family Summer Palace. I found the gaurd house to be quite cozy. :)


Here is the Summer Palace from the top of the hill. This is still on the family's land. There is another large structure behind me... a place where they would have parties. Really... this place is huge. So... if you get a chance to visit Vienna... DO! Also, if you get a chance to see the movie Marie Antoinette, it shows the summer palace at the beginning. Marie was an archduchess of Austria who married a prince of France. The movie is the story of her life. It was pretty cool to actually be there to see it all and know that once a family owned all that land and the huge palace. It was fun to think about what it would be like to live in that palace. What would you do if you lived there???

Yeh... I figured out how to put a video on my blog... with the help of my dear friend Anne. She has a great blog and puts pics and videos of her baby boy all the time. You should check it out sometime if you want. I've put her blog in my links so you can meet my good friends.
So we went to the Hapsburg family 'Summer' palace today. It is away from the city some and has some amazing flowers and garden areas. The land is huge and so is the palace. Anne took this video of me... I hope you can hear it okay. If this works good... I'll be posting more video's in the future... Yeah!!! Enjoy.

Vienna

So, I made it to Vienna! I'm visiting with my friends Chris & Anne. We have walked around downtown Vienna and here are some pictures for you to enjoy. This is the European Smart Car. They are tiny!


This is the St. Stephens Cathedral. The last time I was visiting in Vienna back in 2004 they were also doing contruction on the steeple. I guess it's just taking a while.


Here is some Roman ruins that were found during some construction in Vienna. They were marked off and put in this display. Pretty cool.


This is the Hapsburg Family Winter Palace. Pretty big huh. They still have festivals and fun stuff for holidays in this area.
